Grandma's Treasures

Princess Irene was born in a kingdom where a race of small people had retreated belowground for their own reasons, and only came out at night. Since her mother was very frail, the princess was sent to the mountains to be raised, and it is there that the underground "goblins" appear most often.

The Princess and the Goblin - George MacDonald

Robert Louis Stevenson

It seems to me fair to say that Treasure Island is the only great modern classic written especially for younger readers. I find that girls enjoy Treasure Island just as well as boys. The book stands alone in its wonderfully vivid and dramatic story-telling, which is characterized throughout by an entirely sane and wholesome tone and purpose. In the most subtle manner each character is developed by masterly touches as the story goes on until the living personage is complete.
