Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Princess and the Goblin" by George MacDonald is a children's fantasy novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Princess Irene, a brave little girl who embarks on adventures in a magical world filled with goblins and other mystical beings. As she navigates challenges, she seeks the guidance of a mysterious old lady who reveals secrets about her lineage and the magical protections available to her." "The opening of the story sets the stage by presenting Princess Irene, who lives in a palace high in the mountains. After being raised away from her royal home, she becomes curious and adventurous, leading her to explore hidden staircases and long-forgotten passages in her home. She encounters an old lady, who is revealed to be her great-great-grandmother, and learns that she has magical abilities to help protect her from the goblins living underground. Throughout her journey, Princess Irene begins to realize the significance of her royal lineage and the challenges posed by the goblins as she unfolds her story."
