The Princess and the Goblin

This is an adorable fairy-tale like story about believing, fighting, friendship, bravery, and hope. Just kidding it’s actually just a story about goblin feet!!! LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And fighting goblins!
Do you know how to fight a goblin?
This story is a guide on how to do just that –properly and efficiently.
In the light and safety of day, there exists the princess Irene, the miners, and the glorious kingdom. But deep beneath the surface in the dangerous darkness of the night, there exists the frightening society of goblins led by the goblin king and queen along with their son, the prince Harelip. And up to no good, they are! (OOPS! That sounded a bit like Yoda!) 😂
Things I loved:
*Charming, enchanting read for all ages with a happy ending.
*This was a prelude to the fantasy genre as we know it today - some of the original fantasy work - published in 1872. I can definitely see how it influenced the fantasy genre. Anyway, I chose to read this as I prepare to venture deeper into the fantasy genre myself.
*I loved the 1991 film as a child. It was very memorable!
*Irene’s grandmother was so magical! It really enhanced the story!
My only complaint with the story is the outdated language. It made for a slower and stumbling read at times. Looking forward to reading the second volume or sequel. Sounds like my favorite characters have leading roles—the princess Irene and Curdie! 👑👑
