5th Favorite Book?

Have ordered George Macdonald's The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie . I remember loving these books as a little girl.  Our school library only had The Princess and the Goblin and I searched for The Princess and Curdie for years! I don't believe I ever actually read the second book.
