The Princess Loses Herself

From The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald

George MacDonald wrote The Princess and the Goblin in 1872. It is a classic fairy tale loved by generations of children. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. This story shows a young princess who gets frightened but finds courage inside herself. Every child knows what it feels like to be lost, and every child can learn from Irene's bravery when she wipes her tears and decides to find her own way.
