This may be the original children’s fantasy book. Originally published in 1872, it is available today in many formats and illustrations. Scottish author MacDonald was a friend of Lewis Carroll, and mentor to JRR Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. He weaves a beautifully written story of family and magic together with the fast-paced adventure of the goblins who want to steal the princess. Reading this story will inspire students to pursue honor and courage.
