About this audiobook
The Princess and Curdie is the sequel to The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. It's been a year since the Princess Irene and Curdie first met, and a year since the goblin incident and all appears to be going well in the Kingdom. Or is it? After a visit from Irene's great-great-grandmother, Curdie finds himself on a mission to save the kingdom, with a rather strange companion in tow.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The reader is easy to understand, but her inflection goes up at the end of each sentence in a way that is tough to get used to.
