Princess Irene lives in a large castle with only servants for company, with her father the king away often on royal business. One night, the princess and her nursemaid Lootie run afoul of nasty goblins and are saved by a young miner named Curdie. Curdie and Irene find themselves in frequent need of each other from that very moment, most of all when Curdie discovers that the goblins plan to kidnap the princess. Add in one beautiful fairy grandmother and The Princess and the Goblin more than earns its reputation as a classic fantasy tale for all ages.
