George MacDonald’s The Princess and Curdie is a tale that lingers in the imagination long after its final page, filled with mystery, adventure, and a profound moral vision. First published in 1883 as a sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, this novel continues the journey of the humble miner’s son, Curdie, as he is called upon to aid a kingdom teetering on the brink of ruin. Guided by the enigmatic and benevolent Princess Irene’s great-great-grandmother, Curdie embarks on a quest that is both outwardly heroic and deeply spiritual, confronting corruption, deception, and his own capacity for courage.

MacDonald was more than a storyteller; he was a visionary whose works shaped some of the greatest literary minds of the 20th century. C.S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia, credited MacDonald as his spiritual mentor, saying, "I have never concealed the fact that I regarded him as my master." J.R.R. Tolkien, creator of The Lord of the Rings, also drew inspiration from MacDonald's mythic sensibility, seeing in his tales the power of Faërie—a realm that reveals deeper truths about our own world. Their admiration speaks to the enduring power of MacDonald’s storytelling, which blends the childlike wonder of fairy tales with the weighty themes of faith, virtue, and redemption.

The Princess and Curdie is more than a children’s book; it is a meditation on trust, transformation, and the unseen forces at work in the world. Readers who venture into its pages will find not only a compelling story but also an invitation to consider the nature of goodness, the reality of unseen guidance, and the calling to stand against corruption. As with all great fairy tales, MacDonald's world is both magical and profoundly real, whispering truths that resonate across generations.
