We finished the book The Princess and the Goblin by George Macdonald, and it is one of Gabi's favorite book for Year 3. Here is the synopsis of the story:
Princess Irene's discovery of a secret stair leads to a wonderful revelation. At the same time, Curdie overhears a fiendish plot by the goblins. Princess Irene & Curdie must make sense of their separate knowledge & foil the goblins' schemes. ~ Goodreads.com
While reading aloud this book, I found few quotes which I love. So, let me share it with you:
BUT THAT IS THE WAY FEAR SERVES US;
IT ALWAYS SIDES WITH THE THINGS WE ARE AFRAID OF.
~ CHAPTER 14
IT IS WHEN PEOPLE DO WRONG THINGS WILLFULLY
THAT THEY ARE THE MORE LIKELY TO DO THEM AGAIN.
~ CHAPTER 15
PEOPLE MUST BELIEVE WHAT THEY CAN,
AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE MORE
MUST NOT BE HARD UPON THOSE WHO BELIEVE LESS.
~ CHAPTER 22
AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE MORE
MUST NOT BE HARD UPON THOSE WHO BELIEVE LESS.
~ CHAPTER 22
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THINGS MUST BE DONE
AND QUESTION LEFT TILL AFTERWARDS.
~ CHAPTER 31
