The Princess and the Goblin

Beneath the peaceful mountain kingdom, a dark army is gathering. The Goblins—bizarre, toe-less creatures who hate the sun—are digging a tunnel straight toward the castle to kidnap the Princess. But Princess Irene is not just a damsel in distress. With the help of her mysterious great-great-grandmother and a brave miner boy named Curdie, she must discover the courage to face the darkness underground.

This is the book that inspired J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. It is a true fantasy masterpiece. Now, you can place a special child at the center of this magical world. Customize the Princess to give her your daughter’s name, or cast a brave son as the hero Curdie who sings to keep the goblins away.

It is a perfect story for children who are ready for their first “real” chapter book adventure. It blends scary moments with profound comfort, teaching children that they are never truly alone and that faith and courage can overcome even the scariest monsters in the dark.
