The Princess and Curdie (McDonnald)

By George MacDonald

The Princess and Curdie continues the adventures of Princess Irene and Curdie the miner’s son. Curdie is given a quest. He must travel to Gwyntystorm and there join with Princess Irene in saving the King from a sinister and deadly plot spun by the King’s own ministers. With the help of a magical gift from the great-great-grandmother’s fire-roses, Curdie has a secret power to discern who is a friend and who is an enemy. But the real power is in his heart and in the heart of the Princess: to do better, grow better, and be better, for only by the power of goodness will the King be saved. The Princess and Curdie is a timeless classic from George MacDonald, worth reading again and again and again.

“There is only one way I care for. Do better, and grow better, and be better.….” ~The Princess and Curdie
