On Friday evening, March 13, the historic MacDonald Book Shop will host a unique literary event celebrating the "Grandfather of Fantasy," George MacDonald. Walking Together Press, based in Estes Park, will present an exclusive showcase of their new, limited-edition, illustrated volumes of The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie.

Through dramatic readings and coloring pages, join the adventures of the heroic Princess Irene and her friend, Curdie, who live in a landscape mirrored by the stunning peaks of Estes Park. Q&A will follow, along with a brief presentation on the Estes Park-based nonprofit, Walking Together Press.

"George MacDonald’s stories belong to be read aloud by the hearth," says Thaine Norris, Publisher at Walking Together Press. "To bring these beautiful editions to a book shop that shares his name, nestled in the very terrain he described, feels like a homecoming for Princess Irene and Curdie."
