When we left off, Princess Irene uses her grandmother’s gossamer thread to rescue Curdie from the Goblin’s cave labyrinth, and bring them both back to the safety of Irene’s royal home. Curdie is grateful to Irene for saving his life, but does not believe her explanation of her grandmother’s ring and the thread.
