In the second book of the Wise Woman series, author George MacDonald leads the reader on an unexpected adventure as we follow the Princess Irene and the miner boy, Curdie, into the underworld of cunning goblins and back to the heavenly rooms of her grandmother, the wise woman. With commentary notes by Christian author Jeri Massi, this is an excellent book for ages 12 and above, or a great read-out-loud book for the whole family. Scottish clergyman George MacDonald created beautiful and terrifying fantasy stories that influenced writers as different from each other as James Thurber, CS Lewis, and Ursula Le Guin. Jeri Massi, author of The Bridge and The Bracken Trilogy, supplies notes and commentary on the Christian content of the book.
