A Tale to Believe without Seeing

Young Princess Irene, sent away to the country to be raised in a place nestled into the side of a mountain that's half farmhouse and half castle, has stumbled into a conspiracy -- of Goblins! Really, Goblins! Their evil plot threatens the king and his palace and of course Irene and her friend and her great-great-grandmother (who is a witch, just for good measure). This book has been famous fun for generations, and you ought to come see why. Highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars the princess and the goblin (hardcover), December 12, 2007

This review is from: The Princess and the Goblin (Hardcover)

I purchased this book "The Princess and the Goblin" (and "The Princess and Curdie") two wonderful stories that I have loved since childhood. I wanted to give the books to my nieces for their birthday. The books that I received might as well be paperbacks - they are about 1/2 inch thick with plain blue cloth covers. No illustrations and no illustrated book jacket as pictured on the site. These are not gift quality books and I believe they are overpriced. I had to return them. I am disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sad printing of a GREAT book-!, December 30, 2008

This review is from: The Princess and the Goblin (Hardcover)

The quality of this printing is horrible and does not include any ink illustration, which all others I have seen DID include. Find another version, perhaps an older one and DO order this story, just not this particular book!
