The Princess and the Goblin

A lonely princess, a courageous miner boy, and a mysterious grandmother.  Each of the characters in the Princess and the goblin are unique and enjoyable to read about. There is a race of goblins that live under the very ground of the kingdom where the princess Irene lives.  Once humans they were converted into goblins over time by bitterness and hate.  No longer satisfied with their domain they hatch a plot to take over the above ground kingdom with the capture of Irene at it’s center.  Irene's great-great grandmother is watching over her but in the end it is up to Curdie the intelligent miner boy to hatch a plan to defeat the goblins and save the kingdom and Irene.  Illustrated with  beautiful drawings from several illustrators.
