	6	Macdonald, George: The Princess And The Goblin. 32329 Blackie & Son: London. 1900. *New edition.* Hardcover. Early reprint of classic fantasy novel, first published in 1872: with thirty illustrations by Arthur Hughes. ''The Princess and the Goblin (1872) is set in a fairytale Otherworld with a generally medieval flavour. The goblins are once-humans whose generations underground have caused ugly debasement. Comically malicious rather than evil, they plan to kidnap the surface people's young Princess Irene as a spouse for their rebarbative prince. Curdie, a boy worker in the mines, discovers the goblins' plans and their achilles' heel: despite invulnerable skulls they have tender feet, susceptible to being stamped on. Overseeing Irene's welfare is her claimed great-great-grandmother, one of the many ageless wise women in the author's fantasies. She provides a spider-silk thread which improves on Ariadne's by always leading Irene by the best route to the right place - including the heart of the goblin caves in order to rescue the captured Curdie, and then out again. When the goblin attack comes, Curdie's warnings go unheeded by the royal guards (his measured punishment for scepticism about the wise woman and the thread, neither of which he can perceive). But the kidnap plan is frustrated in a welter of stamping on feet. The goblins' fall-back strategy is to destroy the human palace and mines by flood: thanks to Curdie's warning the waters are turned back by a buttress of masonry and it is the goblins who drown en masse. This novel was the basis of the animated movie of the same title in 1992'' (David Langford/Encyclopedia of Fantasy). A fine copy that has been professionally rebound in orange cloth. Price: 25.00 GBP
