À propos de cet audio

 Admired by J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis, and considered by W. H. Auden to be "the only English children's book in the same class as the Alice books", The Princess and the Goblin is a classic example of 19th-century children's literary fairy tales. This is an ageless story of courage and loyalty, beauty and honor, mystery and divinity, and above all, the conflict of good and evil.

The discovery of a secret stairway running to the top of the castle leads Princess Irene to a revelation even more weighty than the fiendish plans of the goblin community that miner boy Curdie has discovered. Will the Princess and Curdie understand the significance of what they have found, or will Harelip and the goblins successfully execute their evil plan?

Recommended for children aged 4 to 94.

Girl has to be saved a couple times, but she does save the protagonist once. Climax is a bit weak, but overall good.

Recording has some minor traffic noise, but not bad.

good story, decent female role models

I enjoyed the old fashioned nature of the story, the sweet, simple metaphors and the soft magic of it.
I kind of wish the performance had been done by a woman, because so much of the dialogue was of the little princess and her nurse, and the delivery wasn’t as expressive as my taste likes, but I still overall enjoyed the audiobook experience.

I enjoyed getting to know this classic!

This is a story for children, yet I had a hard time following along and the resolution was not very compelling.

Not what I expected.
