The Princess and the Goblin

Courage and Honor

Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives a lonely life in a castle in a wild, desolate, mountainous kingdom, with only her nursemaid, Lootie, for company. Her father, the king, is normally absent, and her mother is dead. Unknown to her, the nearby mines are inhabited by a race of goblins, long banished from the kingdom and now anxious to take revenge on their human neighbours.

First published in 1872, this edition is derived from the book published in 1911 with 12 color illustrations and 30 black and white illustrations by Arthur Hughes. As always, this edition is complete and unabridged.
