A little princess is protected by her friend Curdie and her newly-discovered great-great-grandmother from the goblin miners who live in caves beneath the royal castle. One night Princess Irene discovers her beautiful great-great-grandmother spinning silver thread in the palace tower. Though great danger is about to come upon the sunny kingdom, the old lady promises to keep Irene safe. But when no one will believe her tales of the secret tower, Irene's confidence begins to waver. - Publisher.

This is a good book for young adults sporting a robust Victorian-era English vocabulary. It is nowhere near as readily understood by younger school age children as Narnia and Oz. Ergo the three star rating...
