Welcome back to our journey through George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin. Today, we’re heading underground—deep into the dark, winding mines where the goblins make their home. In Chapter 7, we follow Curdie, the brave young miner, as he works alongside his father and begins to notice things in the tunnels that don’t quite add up. There are whispers of danger, strange noises in the shadows, and the ever-present threat of the goblins’ mischief. So settle in, picture the flicker of the miner’s lamp against the rock walls, and let’s step into the mines to see what secrets they might hold.

Tonight, we’re heading underground to meet Curdie—a tough little miner learning the ropes beside his dad.
Down in the dark, we hear whispers about the goblins who haunt the mountain—and their hilarious weak spots: tender toes and a hatred of silly songs.
When father and son catch sounds through the rock, they freeze, listen, and rethink their next swing.
Curdie starts riffing nonsense rhymes—part courage, part defense—to keep the goblins at bay.
It’s the moment he shifts from curious kid to quiet protector.
Settle in: Chapter 6, “The Little Miner,” is where bravery gets practical.
