Synopsis

George MacDonald's 'The Princess and the Goblin & The Princess and Curdie (With Original Illustrations)' is a delightful combination of two timeless fantasy tales filled with magical creatures, daring adventures, and moral lessons for young readers. Written in a charming and whimsical style, these stories transport readers to a world where bravery and goodness are rewarded, and where the forces of darkness are ultimately overcome. MacDonald's writing skillfully weaves together elements of fairy tales and Christian allegory, making his work both entertaining and thought-provoking. These tales have rightfully earned their place in the canon of children's literature. George MacDonald, a Scottish author and minister, drew inspiration from his spiritual beliefs and love of storytelling to create these enchanting narratives. His background in both theology and literature undoubtedly influenced the themes of faith, courage, and redemption that are prevalent in his works. 'The Princess and the Goblin & The Princess and Curdie' is a must-read for anyone who appreciates the power of imagination and the triumph of good over evil.

    Before he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897. Taking 16 beloved nursery rhymes, he explains their meaning and fascinating history. What is the true story of Little Boy Blue? Why was Mary contrary? 
    As he says in the introduction, "Many of these nursery rhymes are complete tales in themselves, telling their story tersely but completely; there are others which are but bare suggestions, leaving the imagination to weave in the details of the story. Perhaps therein may lie part of their charm, but however that may be I have thought the children might like the stories told at greater length, that they may dwell the longer upon their favorite heroes and heroines. For that reason I have written this book." L. Frank BaumBefore he wrote the Oz books, L. Frank Baum wrote this book which was the best selling book of 1897.
