I loved this book so much as a kid, it was one of my favorites. I'd recommend this to any young readers who enjoy a good heroic adventure with a deep message.

Horrible sequel. It's mostly just Curdie. Really boring, and some stories left open while others were shut abruptly in the end.

Yet another great story by George MacDonald :) I wish that the very ending had been slightly different, but otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed it :)

The sequal to The Princess and the Goblin, and sadly a dissapointment. The story seemed too rushed. And at the end you could tell the author just wanted to end the book.

Genre: old time juvenile fiction
Summary: This is the sequel to The Princess and the Goblin. Curdie must save the Princess once again as the King is dying and the kingdom is falling to bits.
Response: I loved the first book and I was so disappointed in this one. It was weird, where the first one made sense and had layers of meaning. I wonder where MacDonald was going with this story.
