This delightful fairy tale for all ages is filled with fantasy, wit, and wisdom. A classic penned in 1872 by author George MacDonald, it has inspired the work of his friend Lewis Carroll (Alice in Wonderland), and many others, including C.S. Lewis (The Narnia Chronicles), J.R.R. Tolkien (The Lord of the Rings), G.K. Chesterton (The Father Brown Mysteries), and Madeleine L'Engle (A Wrinkle in Time).

This is by far the best version on audible. I only wish the sound design editor had allowed the performance a chance to breathe. The narrator is great, but the editor left no gap between sentences.

Was a bit discombobulating. It took me out of the story,yet the way it's told it's hard to tell whether you're in or out of the story. It's written like a never-ending, compound sentence iterating over and over again, til you find yourself in the middle and then the end without realizing you were finishing a book.

The Princess and the Goblin is a classic fairy tale which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. There are layers of meaning if you choose to see them, but its story line is straightforward. I am in my sixties and loved it, partly because of the old-fashioned but compelling story, and partly because of the talent of the reader. Laura Sauriat is a gifted narrator with a mellifluous voice who.brings each character alive with a range of easy-to-understand but fun and expressive accents. I highly recommend this recording and hope Ms Sauriat considers doing the sequel in due course.

Classic story, beautifully read.
