The Princess and the Goblin

Princess Irene lives on the side of a mountain in a giant old house with a secret stairway that doesn't always lead to the same place--unless her mysteriously ageless great-great-grandmother wants to be seen. Meanwhile, deep inside the mountain, cruel goblins are hatching an evil plot to steal away the princess and overthrow her king-papa. But their plot is overheard by Curdie, the miner's son. Will the princess with her great faith and Curdie with his great courage be able to stop the goblins?
