Inhaltsangabe

It has been a year since Curdie's heroic defeat of the goblins under the mountain, and now he is growing complacent and forgetful. Is there really such a person as a mysterious and powerful grandmother, who can only be found when she wants to be found? But then something painful happens that changes the course of Curdie's life. He then becomes the only one who can save the king from the deadly plot of evil men. Aided by an alarmingly ugly animal companion, Curdie must learn true faith and trust to overcome dangers on every side.

An inspiration for both The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, this story is deeply Christian (without being overtly Christian) in the sense that it conveys profound truths of the Kingdom of God in a way that even a child can understand.

First published in 1883, The Princess and Curdie--the sequel to The Princess and the Goblin--has never been out of print, and most major publishers, both secular and Christian, have had an edition. But now Walking Together Press has created a brand-new and beautifully illustrated hardcover edition--with fifty illustrations--in a pseudo-manga style for a twenty-first century audience.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian Congregationalist minister. He became a pioneering figure in modern fantasy literature. George MacDonald's imaginative storytelling and deeply Christian themes profoundly influenced the literary world. C. S. Lewis regarded MacDonald as his "master," and J. R. R. Tolkien--who read the Princess stories to his children--found literary inspiration in MacDonald's works.
