I love this story, Helena. The beautiful description and the secret of the iron nail and her faery blood. Have you ever read two wonderful books about goblins and a princess and a miner's son?

There are two books and one is the sequel to the other. The first is "The Princess and the Goblin," by George MacDonald, and the sequel is "The Princess and Curdie." Beautifully written. MacDonald also wrote another amazing book called, "At the Back of the North Wind." That one I must have read at least seven times.

Thanks! It was long time ago...I definitely have to revisit them:) but I grew up watching Jim Henson's Labyrinth, which was always an influence I guess.

My older son and two older granddaughters love "Labyrinth." I didn't love it the first time I saw it, but on subsequent viewing, I think it's really magical.
