George Macdonald
Considered the ‘Grandfather of the Inklings,’ and hailed by C.S. Lewis as the ‘Master of the Fairytale,’ Macdonald was the forerunner of modern fantasy. This particularly rings true in these, his two most majestic fantasy tales. These tales were some of Lewis and Tolkien’s foundational works, from which they were inspired to write their own epics. Bound together now in this handsome duology are the charming ‘The Princess and the Goblin,’ and it’s classic sequel ‘The Princess and Curdie.’ Two of the most iconic fantasy adventures of all time!
Care has been taken in this volume to present these works with the typographical elegance they deserve. Complete with drop caps, ornamental chapter headings, verse set apart from prose, and a rich rustic font, this volume is designed for delightful reading, and is one we hope Macdonald himself is smiling down on.
Guided by the ageless Lady of the Silver Moon, join the Princess Irene, Curdie the Miner, and his hideous companion, on their quests to save the kingdom from the mysterious terror under the mountain, and also from treachery within the very palace walls…
