Here are two-books-in-one, George MacDonald's The Princess and the Goblin and its sequel The Princess and Curdie. You'll meet kings and counselors and obedient dogs and lowly miners and tap-tap-taping goblins in these two book-length fairy tales ... stories that are more than simply fairy tales. "I personally selected these two George MacDonald children's stories for addition to the growing line of Whirlygig Kids Books. These two princess-and-goblin tales should be on every young - or young at heart - person's reading list," says Hollis George, noted editor and anthologist.

"Haunted by events from their childhood, Peter Stone and his sister, Rose, would surely agree with William Faulkner: 'The past is never dead. It's not even past.' Subtle references to Psycho and to Nightmare on Elm Street add a sense of foreboding to this beautifully written, eerily suspenseful, and totally engrossing novel. As Peter begins to learn why Rose has chosen to disappear, you won't be able to put this book down." - Jill McCroskey Coupe, author of True Stories at the Smoky View and Beginning with Cannonballs."Richly suspenseful, J.E. Irvin's The Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone serves up a cast of beautifully drawn characters and a wildly twisting plot, all of which will keep readers riveted to the final page."- Kristina McBride, author of A MILLION TIMES GOODNIGHT"The Strange Disappearance of Rose Stone offers a poignant and often thoroughly heartbreaking interweaving of past and present as an older brother burdened by guilt searches desperately for his missing sister. Keep the Kleenex handy."- C.L. Pauwels, author of Forty & Out and Burned BridgesTen days after Rose Stone disappears, her brother Peter receives a note and a package containing their most treasured childhood possession. Now he must re-visit the landscape of their traumatic childhood, searching for clues that will help solve the mystery of her vanishing.
