5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Listening with Imagination By Patricia B. Willard The Princess and the Goblin is a book that I will remember always. Reading and discussing this book together was the end feature of a study of Celtic Spirituality for the women of the Thursday Morning Bible Study. After eight years, we sometimes wander from the canon into other writings. Our study of Celtic Spirituality (which included the Celtic Church—something not usually covered in church history) began with J. Philip Newell’s, Listening for the Heartbeat of God. In that book, Newell talks about leaders of Celtic belief beginning with Pelagius (not the heretic we have been led to believe nor has all his work disappeared) in the fourth century and ending with George McLeod of the twentieth century.He introduces George McDonald (1824-1905) as someone who listened with imagination as he expressed Celtic spirituality in short stories and novels. He further explains that his most famous work, The Princess and the Goblin, greatly influenced C. S. Lewis. That alone made it worth the free download to kindle.We women all agreed that we found the story charming though just want that means, now that I think about it, is unclear. I hope it means approval and that it is not belittling. None of us identified the grandmother as the presence of God even though Philip Newell had told us this. One woman commented that she did not think that it had been written to teach a lesson and no one challenged her observation. I think that it is a story about good and evil and, faithful to our expectations, good triumphs. The evil seems to be evil for the sake of evil, not for any gain; the goblins were plotting to have peace, an armed peace, for a generation but they were not at war except by their own actions and in their own minds.String made the story possible. Curdie’s string was solid and visible and when tied to his pick-ax allowed him to explore through the goblin part of the mountain and return to a place he knew…until a goblin moved the pick-ax. Irene’s string, lovingly spun by the grandmother of the finest of spider webs, given her with a ring, was visible only to certain people (originally only to the grandmother and Irene) and took Irene out to new places (once to rescue Curdie.) Her string led but could not be used to retrace her steps. In that way it was different from Curdie’s string. His string was a Hansel and Gretel affair which resembled that of Theses after the Minotaur; something to help you know where you were. One question throughout the story is who can see and who cannot (rather like the New Testament with its repetitive theme of blindness.)My copy had something I have never seen before. Two people would speak within one paragraph. This was confusing and I had to stop and sort out the speakers. I thought that perhaps this was an 1800’s convention but the other woman who read it on Kindle thought that it was a quirk of Kindle. The women who read hard copies did not notice this feature.One woman had a hard-back edition from our public library. It was printed in the 1980s and had the most perfect illustrations. Simply beautiful.The story is an easy read but one can spend much time thinking about it or discussing it with others. Our group was not familiar with the Narnia Chronicles, only one of us having read those books, so we did not bring the book forward to where it has led in fantasy fiction but we did enjoy going backwards into mythology.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. a simply beautiful fantasy By Robert The Princess and the Goblin is all that is good about fantasy and literature in general. There are heros and heroins and lots of nasty creatures for them to prevail against. It is a simple but elegant tapestry of storytelling.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. a charming read By Meagan The writing style of which I was not used to, challenged my reading comprehension and I believe I am better because of it. The story was tender and sweet, full of metaphors depicting God and positive values and life lessons.
