“The king and the kiss” — after a fretful night waiting out the storm, Curdie and his mother were able to take Princess Irene home to let everyone know that she wasn’t taken by the horrible goblins.

“Mason-work” — Curdie rushed to the mine as fast as he could, eager to warn his fellow miners of the wicked backup plan that the goblins had hatched.

“Curdie’s guide” — As Curdie got ready to follow the goblins into their tunnel hoping that it would lead him to Princess Irene, he discovered a curious little thread that led him away from the tunnel.

“The goblins in the king’s house” — Curdie awakes from a dream to discover that the worst has happened! Goblins have taken the king’s house by force and no one had paid attention to the signs!

“The goblin miners” — the king’s house servants, having heard strange sounds for a few days now, chatted together about what could be the cause, when suddenly there came a great thundering rumble that shook the whole house.

“Curdie comes to grief” — unable to tell the Princess how sorry he is for how he treated her, Curdie works even harder to properly observe the goblin miners. When he discovers a change in their digging pattern, Curdie decides to change where observes from and get into some serious trouble.

“Irene behaves like a Princess” — at last discovered by her nurse Lootie and all the servants of the house, Irene tries to tell them that she was not hiding from them on purpose. Conflict arises, however, when Lootie doesn’t believe the Princess, and Irene must make a tough decision.

“Curdie and his mother” — Curdie gets home safe from his misadventure with the goblins and shares the whole, wild story with his parents. To his surprise, his mother has a strange story of her own to share, which helps Curdie think differently about the Princess. He also shares his hypothesis of what evil plans the goblins have with his parents.

“The old lady and Curdie” — Irene, determined to prove to Curdie once and for all that her great-grandmother had rescued them from the goblins, took Curdie up the many flights of stairs to meet her, only things didn’t go quite as she had hoped.

“The escape” — having followed her great-grandmother’s thread into the dark cave, Irene resolved to follow it no matter what, even when it disappeared into a large pile of stones. Little did she expect to discover a long lost friend deep in the heart of the mountain.
