Today's story is a journey deep into the mountains of George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, a beautiful fairytale full of good lessons and good humor for us all. This story has enchanted readers for generations — and it’s easy to see why.
The Princess Irene lives in her lonely castle, perched halfway up a mountain. In the story, she meets a miner boy named Curdie as well as sneaky goblins, who live deep inside the mountain -- and they hatch a plan to take revenge on the people who live above them.
At the heart of the tale is something precious: a beautiful picture of faith and peace in the midst of fear and darkness. There’s the mysterious great-great-grandmother, who spins her shining thread and teaches Irene to follow it with trust.
We talk about how MacDonald masterfully tells a story that still speaks today — inviting us to laugh, hope, and walk in faith.
