The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald
•
Feeling stressed? Relax tonight with the opening chapters of the Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. Published in 1872, it is a fantasy novel that inspired authors like Tolkein and G.K Chesterton. In this episode, Princess Irene meets her very old grandmother who lives alone in a room. Spinning. Very strange.
