What would you pair with The Princess and the Goblin for a book-club month? Two different takes on a similar theme could be interesting.

Caoimhe, i have added a boost too. Would be interesting to see how it sits beside the other choices.

The Princess and the Goblin is one I am weighing up. I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.

Eoin, i am following this thread for exactly that reason. Happy to hear a few different opinions.

For anyone considering The Princess and the Goblin: This would be a good change of pace from the things currently at the top of my list.
