The Mountain -- The White Pigeon -- The Mistress of the Silver Moon -- Curdie's Father and Mother -- The Miners -- The Emerald -- What Is in a Name? -- Curdie's Mission -- Hands -- The Heath -- Lina -- More Creatures -- The Baker's Wife -- The Dogs of Gwyntystorm -- Derba and Barbara -- The Mattock -- The Wine Cellar -- The King's Kitchen -- The King's Chamber -- Counterplotting -- The Loaf -- The Lord Chamberlain -- Dr. Kelman -- The Prophecy -- The Avengers -- The Vengeance -- More Vengeance -- The Preacher -- Barbara -- Peter -- The Sacrifice -- The King's Army -- The Battle -- Judgment -- The End.
In this sequel to the classic fantasy The Princess and the Goblin, Curdie is given a strange gift: he can read a person's character by touching their hands. But he's not sure what good that is when the kingdom starts falling apart. Along with his trusty monster, Curdie must decide what to believe, who to help, and who to fight when the king grows mysteriously sick and the princess is helpless. Enjoyable for all ages, The Princess and Curdie is a clever fable of falsehood versus truth and appearance versus reality.
