The Princess and the Goblin

George Macdonald, Arthur Hughes, Ursula Le Guin

From Shelf: @SketchesbyBoze gathered some "essential books for the beloved children in your life" (and which adults will enjoy too).

Princess Irene lives in a castle in a lonely mountainous region. One day she discovers a steep and winding stairway leading to a bewildering labyrinth of unused passages with closed doors - and a further stairway. What lies at the top? Can the ring the princess is given protect her against the lurking menace of the boglins from under the mountain?
