The Princess and the Goblin


Here are another couple of finds from the studio clear out.
I did these very early on in my career when I was in discussions with a London publisher about illustrating The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald.
MacDonald was a very interesting writer, and it's a bit of a shame that this was another project that never got beyond the drawing board.
I had fun with the Goblins though, and will certainly revisit them at some time.

    Goblins are good! In your case, GREAT for the gnarly faces and growly grins. I do love the backlighting on the princess....its lovely.

    That's wonderful, PJ. There are so few good editions of MacDonald, despite him being as influential as any writer in his genre.
