George MacDonald’s beloved classic of children’s fantasy is now available in an unabridged, paperback volume in Union Square and Co.’s Signature Editions series. 

A classic fairy tale of Princess Irene, the brave young miner Curdie, magic, and the dastardly goblins plotting against the kingdom.

Throughout their journey, Princess Irene and Curdie face various challenges and magical events that test their courage and friendship.

They encounter a wise old woman who gives them important advice, a magical thread that guides them through the darkness of the underground tunnels, and a cunning goblin king who wants to keep Princess Irene captive in his kingdom.
