"The Princess and the Goblin" is a children's fantasy novel by George
MacDonald, first published in 1872. The story follows eight-year-old Princess
Irene, who lives a lonely life in a castle in a wild, desolate, mountainous
kingdom. Unbeknownst 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 neighbors. Irene befriends a young miner named Curdie, who
overhears the goblins' plans to flood the mine and abduct the princess. Curdie
warns the palace guards, but is imprisoned instead. Irene's great-great-
grandmother heals Curdie's wound and helps him escape. The goblins break
through the palace floor and come to abduct the princess, but Curdie rescues
her and restores her to the king. The goblins subsequently drown when they
flood the mines. The novel has been adapted into various forms, including an
animated film and a ballet. The sequel to the book is "The Princess and
Curdie." The novel's depiction of goblins heavily influenced J.R.R. Tolkien's
legendarium.
