A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. Abridged by Jean Watson. In this new edition, Peter Wanes imaginative drawings blend fantasy and everyday realism and reflect the unique atmosphere of George MacDonald's story. Jean Watson has pruned some of the old-fashioned phrases and lengthy descriptions less suited to modern readers while preserving the MacDonald magic. Princess Irene and her ailing father are helpless in the castle of Gwyntystorm, at the mercy of courtiers. The miner boy Curdie is sent on a mysterious and dangerous rescue mission, helped by a wild beast and a rare magic gift. A1A Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
