Summary "The Princess and the Goblin" by George MacDonald is a children's fantasy novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story follows Princess Irene, a curious eight-year-old girl, as she navigates a world filled with magic, adventure, and the mysterious goblins lurking beneath her kingdom. The narrative promises enchanted encounters and moral lessons as Irene interacts with her seemingly imaginary great-great-grandmother and confronts challenges posed by the mischievous goblins. The opening of the story introduces Princess Irene, who resides in a beautiful palace and cherishes her imaginative world, despite feeling confined. It explains how she lost her way in the palace, highlighting her bravery and determination. As she explores the castle, she discovers an old lady with a humming spinning wheel, who reveals herself to be her great-great-grandmother. This old woman is both maternal and mysterious, hinting at her magical nature. The tension builds with the mention of goblins living in the caverns below the mountains, setting the stage for future encounters and adventures that intertwine the fates of Irene and the goblin people. Overall, the opening beckons readers into an enchanting realm where childhood wonder meets folklore and adventure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
