Written by George MacDonald and first published in 1926 by MacMillan, The Princess and The Goblin is a wonderful tale of a young girl, a young boy, and goblins.  Filled with mystery and magic, surprises and suspense, the book was a gift to my mother when she was 10 years old.  She read it to me and my brothers when we were children, and I read it to my daughters when they were young.  Now I read it for you!
