A mountain-house fairy tale of courage and faith

Princess Irene’s home sits above a mountain where a hidden stairway shifts its destination, while goblins plot below to threaten her and the king. Curdie, a miner’s son, discovers their plan, bringing the princess and the boy into a shared struggle shaped by faith and courage. First published in 1872, George MacDonald’s tale combines folkloric fantasy with Christian themes, and this edition presents it with 46 illustrations in a pseudo-manga style. The contrast between the old house’s mysterious passages and the goblins’ underground world gives the story its distinctive setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in classic fairy tales and folklore
  • Readers drawn to fantasy involving goblins, hidden passages, and a mountain setting
  • Those interested in Christian themes presented through a fairy tale

Book overview

Princess Irene lives in a castle in a wild and lonely mountainous region. One day she discovers a steep and winding stairway leading to a bewildering labyrinth of unused passages with closed doors - and a further stairway. What lies at the top? Can the ring the princess is given protect her against the lurking menace of the boglins from under the mountain?
