In this sequel to The Princess and the Goblin, Curdie has returned to his life as a miner and has dismissed the supernatural happenings of the past, believing them to have been a dream. When Curdie callously wounds a pigeon, his conscience leads him to Princess Irene's mystical great-great-grandmother for help. She has him plunge his hands into a pile of rose petals that burns like fire. Extraordinarily, this grants him the power to see what kind of "animal" a person is at heart.

She then sends him on a quest, accompanied by a peculiar doglike creature named Lina, who was once a human. However, Curdie must resolve his own skepticism before he can use the powers granted to him to defeat the evil that is threatening the future of the kingdom.

You may have heard that if you put medicine in dog food the dog won't even know he's eating medicine. Well in the case of this story the allegorical elements are so obvious that it would seem the plot itself takes second chair. The story almost seems hindered by the multitude of moral lessons it carries. I'd say the medicine to dogfood ratio is a tad high in this one.

A little too much medicine in the dogfood.
