The Princess and the Goblin

Chapter XXVII · Chapter 27

Chapter 27 of The Princess and the Goblin is here in full — 93 sentences across 19 reading sections, with audio for every sentence and word.

Chapter 27 of The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald holds 93 sentences, grouped into 19 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the public-domain source, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped.

What does chapter 27 of The Princess and the Goblin contain?

Chapter 27 holds 93 sentences of The Princess and the Goblin, unabridged, divided into 19 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 27 of The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald exactly as it stands in the public-domain source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 93 sentences, grouped into 19 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 27 of The Princess and the Goblin?

Work through the 19 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 19 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 27 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 27 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.

The Goblins in the King's House
When Curdie fell asleep he began at once to dream.
He thought he was ascending the Mountainside from the mouth of the mine, whistling and singing 'Ring, dod, bang!'
when he came upon a woman and child who had lost their way; and from that point he went on dreaming everything that had happened to him since he thus met the princess and Lootie; how he had watched the goblins, how he had been taken by them, how he had been rescued by the princess; everything, indeed, until he was wounded, captured, and imprisoned by the men-at-arms.
And now he thought he was lying wide awake where they had laid him, when suddenly he heard a great thundering sound.
