Princess Irene lives on the side of a mountain in a giant old house with a secret stairway that doesn’t always lead to the same place… unless her mysteriously ageless great great grandmother wants to be seen. Meanwhile, deep inside the mountain, cruel goblins are hatching an evil plot to steal away the princess and overthrow her king-papa. But their plot is overheard by Curdie, the miner’s son. Will the princess with her great faith and Curdie with his great courage be able to stop the goblins? Dive into this timeless mystical fairytale and find out!

Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives in a large house, half castle, half farm-house, on the side of a mountain… under which live terrible goblins and their bizarre mutant creatures.
One rainy day, Princess Irene explores the house and finds an unknown staircase, at the top of which she meets her mysterious and ageless great-great-grandmother; mysterious because almost no one else—besides Irene—can see or hear the old/young woman.
On the next clear day, Irene and her nurse enjoy the outdoors, but have a frightful encounter with goblins. Fortunately for them, a young miner boy named Curdie comes to their rescue. Curdie goes on to discover the sinister plot of the goblins to capture the princess but in the process is captured himself. Irene is then able to rescue Curdie from deep underground by following her great-great-grandmother’s specific and puzzling instructions.
Through more tests of faith, combined with great courage and ingenuity, Curdie and Irene are able to thwart the evil plot and protect the kingdom!
An inspiration for both The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, this story is deeply Christian (without being overtly Christian) in the sense that it conveys profound truths of the Kingdom of God in a way that even a child can understand.
First published in 1872, The Princess and the Goblin has never been out of print, and every major publisher has an edition. But now Walking Together Press has created a brand-new and beautifully illustrated edition—with forty-six illustrations—for a twenty-first century audience.

It has been a year since Curdie’s heroic defeat of the goblins under the mountain, and now he is growing complacent and forgetful. Is there really such a person as a mysterious and powerful grandmother, who can only be found when she wants to be found? But then something happens that changes the course of Curdie’s life, and he becomes the only one who can save the king from the the deadly plot of evil men. Aided by an alarmingly ugly animal companion, Curdie must learn true faith and trust to overcome dangers on every side.

Princess Irene has moved to the king’s castle in the capital city, and Curdie has been a productive miner with his father.
One day Curdie meets Irene’s mysterious and ageless great-great-grandmother who sends him on an important mission, equipping him with a unique form of discernment and an invaluable, though at first repulsive, companion. But the old woman never told Curdie the details of the mission, only where to begin.
Led to the princess and her king-papa and joined by a menagerie of fantastical creatures, Curdie’s mission unfolds step by step. A sinister plot of the king’s formerly trusted advisors comes to light and Curdie is the only one in a position to stop it.
Inspirations for both The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, these two stories are deeply Christian (without being overtly Christian) in the sense that they convey profound truths of the Kingdom of God in a way that even a child can understand.
First published in 1883, The Princess and Curdie—the sequel to The Princess and the Goblin—has never been out of print, and every major publisher has an edition. But now Walking Together Press has created a brand-new and beautifully illustrated edition—with fifty illustrations—for a twenty-first century audience.

The Story
Support African Libraries with Your Purchase!
While all the profits of Walking Together Press support libraries in Africa, these beautiful, Limited-Edition hardcovers are a special fundraiser for the Jenta Reads Essential Library, a collection of 100+ titles that will be donated as a starter library to schools and communities in Jos, Nigeria and beyond.
The Jenta Reads Essential Library — A starter library.
From the beginning, Jenta Reads and its many spin-off libraries have been supplied by used books from various sources. The problem with used books is that the selection is random. What if, for example, we wanted to give every library a copy of The Chronicles of Narnia?
This need was the genesis of the Jenta Reads Essential Library, which is a collection of books that we can print (such as from the public domain or by permission), and books that we can buy at wholesale. Now when Jenta Reads goes to a school or community and gives a talk about reading, they can leave behind a carefully selected box of books as a starter library.
