The Princess and Curdie is a bit more grown up as it takes place two years after the first story. A truly remarkable story of bravery and honor. He is able to foil the plot of the goblins and as his reward he merely asks for a new coat for his mother (not riches or power) for that is the reason he was working so hard in the mines in the first place. Curdie is ultimately captured, but he ends up being saved by Irene's great-great grandmother. One day while staying late to earn more money, Curdie discovers another way to harm goblins and also discovers the goblins' plan to get even with the humans who chased them underground. He refuses a kiss from Irene, but plans to claim one later. Curdie is a very honorable and noble hero. Curdie manages to save the two from the goblins and tells them that goblins hate music, so he sings to keep them at bay. The following day, Irene and her nursemaid are out for a walk, but stay out til dark when goblins come out. One day while Irene is bored and exploring the castle, she finds her great-great grandmother, but nobody believes her when she tells them that she found her. The Princess and the Goblin involves three main characters, Princess Irene, her great-great grandmother, and a young boy named Curdie.
