Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Story of the Three Goblins" by Mabel G. Taggart is a children's fantasy tale crafted in the early 20th century. This enchanting story follows the adventures of three little goblins—Red-Cap, Blue-Cap, and Yellow-Cap—as they embark on a journey from their mountain home into the "Big World" to retrieve a stolen Red Feather that belongs to their father, Old Black-Cap, the King of the Mountain. The book offers a delightful mixture of whimsy, adventure, and moral lessons appropriate for young readers. The narrative unfolds as the goblin brothers, encouraged by their father, venture into the world beyond their mountain, meeting various characters—including a kind water rat, a giant named Tom Tiddler, and a friendly rabbit—along their journey. Their quest leads them to face challenges, such as defeating a fire-breathing dragon and a serpent, while learning about teamwork and bravery. Ultimately, they succeed in reclaiming the Red Feather, which grants wishes, after breaking a spell cast by the wicked wizard Tom Tiddler. The tale concludes with the goblins returning home to rule their kingdom together, cherishing friendship and celebrating their newfound responsibilities.
