the princess and the goblin

the last book i read...i remember trying to read this as a kid and not being able to get into it. but this time i really liked it a lot. enough that i rushed out to get the sequel, the princess and curdie, before school starts tomorrow. which i also read, so i guess this isn't really technically the last book i read. but it's within the last five and i didn't take a picture of any of the others.
