By George MacDonald

The Princess and the Curdie By George MacDonald The Princess and the Curdie is a magical tale that continues the story of Princess Irene and Curdie, a brave miner's son, first introduced in The Princess and the Goblin. In this sequel, Curdie is chosen by the mysterious and wise Great-Great-Grandmother of the princess to protect the kingdom from impending corruption and danger. She grants him a strange power in his hands--the ability to feel the true nature of people by touching them--so he can discern good from evil. Curdie sets out on his mission accompanied by a bizarre and loyal creature named Lina. Along the way, he encounters deception, darkness, and cruelty within the castle, realizing that evil has wormed its way into the heart of the kingdom. With courage and compassion, he begins to cleanse the court of those who threaten the peace and safety of the people. Princess Irene, now older and more graceful, plays a key role in supporting Curdie's mission. Her faith, wisdom, and connection to her great-grandmother help guide them through times of doubt. The bond between Irene and Curdie deepens, showcasing the power of trust and purity of heart in the face of great trials. Full of symbolism, moral reflection, and fantasy, The Princess and the Curdie explores themes of courage, integrity, and spiritual growth. George MacDonald weaves a story that is both an adventure and a gentle allegory, inviting readers of all ages to reflect on what it means to be truly good in a world full of hidden darkness.
