The Princess and the Goblin

A young princess named Irene lives far from her father's lofty mountain palace, raised in a modest house perched between the hillside and the summit. Though she has never gazed at the real night sky, her bright eyes seem to search for it, and the world of tunnels and glittering ore that surrounds her feels both familiar and mysterious. The story follows her daily wonder as she explores the high valleys and hears whispered rumors of strange beings below.

Deep within the mountains, hidden caverns shelter a secret race of goblins—clever, misshapen creatures who have retreated underground after falling out of favor with the king. Their mischievous plans threaten the peace of the kingdom, and a brave young miner named Curdie becomes an unlikely ally for Irene, guiding her through the labyrinthine tunnels. Together they begin to uncover the hidden danger that lurks beneath the kingdom's beautiful façade.
