从前有一位小公主，她的父亲统治着一个多山峦与峡谷的伟大国度。国王的宫殿建在其中一座山上，极其雄伟壮丽。这位名叫 Irene 的公主就出生在那里，但出生后不久，由于母亲身体羸弱，她便被送到另一座山腰上的一所大房子里由乡民抚养，那座房子一半像城堡、一半像农庄，坐落在山脚与山峰的正中地带。

……读过不少——而且它很少会出现在大家推荐的精选书单里。书很长，我还没读完，但目前读过的部分一直在深深影响着我。编辑：我差点忘了！我几年前读过《The Princess and the Goblin》。它是一部面向儿童的童话，但却是我读过的关于少女成长题材最棒的书之一，而我一生都在寻找这类作品。如果你有……

…from different mythologies, and images from different poetical traditions. He also mercilessly raided the writings of George MacDonald for characters and plot elements (try reading ‘Phantastes’ or ‘The Princess and the Goblin’ to appreciate just how freaking much he is indebted to him). And still the end result feels somehow original and fresh. Perhaps, one can say that Tolkien is 20th century‘s Shakespeare: a writer who invented…
> 不妨读读《Phantastes》或《The Princess and the Goblin》，你就知道他到底欠了麦克唐纳多大的人情了 你说巧不巧，我还真试着读过《The Princess and the Goblin》。我想我应该是读完了。它还有部续集叫《The Princess and Curdie》。我试着读过，但是……
