    About this audiobook

    “People must believe what they can, and those who believe more must not be hard upon those who believe less. I doubt if you would have believed it all yourself if you hadn't seen some of it.”
    Eight-year-old Princess Irene is everything a princess of her age should be: brave, imaginative, strong-willed, and eager to be a good person. But her situation is not ideal: she lives in a lonely castle separated from her kingdom with her nursemaid, amid mines full of goblins who seek to destroy her and her family.
    But one day, the young princess happens upon the ghost of her namesake while exploring her castle, and begins an adventure to overtake the goblins and restore order to her kingdom. Along the way she makes new friends, experiences powerful magic from her ancestors, and shows the world what a brave and daring princess can do even when the world is stacked against her.
    The Princess and the Goblin will enchant readers of all ages and whirl them away to a world of magic and adventure. Originally written as a serial, each chapter leaves readers wanting to continue the adventure and cheer on Princess Irene in her quest.

Auden called him "one of the most remarkable writers of the nineteenth century."
