The Princess and the Goblin is a children's fantasy novel by George MacDonald. It was published in 1872 by Co. with black-and-white illustrations by Arthur Hughes. Strahan had published the story and illustrations as a serial in the monthly magazine Good Words for the Young, beginning November 1870. Anne Thaxter Eaton writes in A Critical History of Children's Literature that The Princess and the Goblin and its sequel "quietly suggest in every incident ideas of courage and honor." Jeffrey Holdaway, in the New Zealand Art Monthly, said that both books start out as "normal fairytales but become stranger", that they contain layers of symbolism similar to that of Lewis Carroll's work. Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives a lonely life in a castle in a wild, mountainous kingdom, with only her nursemaid, for company, her father, the king, is absent, her mother is dead. Unknown to her, the nearby mines are inhabited by a race of goblins, long banished from the kingdom and now anxious to take revenge on their human neighbours.

One rainy day, the princess explores the castle and discovers a beautiful, mysterious lady, who identifies herself as Irene's namesake and great-great-grandmother. The next day, Princess Irene persuades. After dark they are chased by goblins and rescued by the young miner, whom Irene befriends. At work with the rest of the miners, Curdie overhears the goblins talking, their conversation reveals to Curdie the secret weakness of goblin anatomy: they have soft, vulnerable feet. Curdie sneaks into the Great Hall of the goblin palace to eavesdrop on their general meeting, hears that the goblins intend to flood the mine if a certain other part of their plan should fail, he conveys this news to his father. In the palace, Princess Irene injures her hand. A week Irene is about to see her great-great-grandmother again, but is frightened by a long-legged cat and escapes up the mountain; when Curdie explores the goblins' domain, he is discovered by the goblins and stamps on their feet with great success. The goblins imprison Curdie, thinking he will die of starvation.

Irene takes Curdie to be introduced. Curdie learns that the goblins are digging a tunnel in the mines towards the king's palace, where they plan to abduct the Princess and marry her to goblin prince Harelip. Curdie warns the palace guards about this, but is imprisoned instead and contracts a fever through a wound in his leg, until Irene's great-great-grandmother heals the wound. Meanwhile, the goblins come to abduct the princess. Upon the goblins' retreat, Irene is believed a captive; when the goblins flood the mines, the water enters the palace, Curdie warns the others. The king asks him to serve as a bodyguard. In the 1960s, the novel was adapted in animated form by Jay Ward for his Fractured Fairy Tales series; this version involved a race of innocent goblins. The goblin king falls in love with a princess, but a prince saves her by reciting poetry because goblins hate it. A full-length animated adaptation of the book, directed by József Gémes, was released in 1992 in the United Kingdom, in June 1994 in the United States.

This Hungary/Wales/Japan co-production, created at Budapest's PannóniaFilm, Japan's NHK, S4C and Siriol Productions in Great Britain, starred the voices of Joss Ackland, Claire Bloom, William Hootkins and Rik Mayall. The film's producer, Robin Lyons wrote the screenplay and voiced the Goblin King. However, it was not well received commercially nor critically upon its US release from Hemdale Film Corporation in summer 1994 grossing only $1.8 million domestically and receiving negative reviews. The film's title is "De Prinses van het Zonnevolk" in Dutch, "Prinsessan og durtarnir" in Icelandic, "La princesse et la forêt magique" in French; the Princess and the Goblins is a poem by Sylvia Plath. Shirley Temple played Princess Irene in a production on an episode of her television show. Although the plot follows the basic outline of Macdonald's story, it glosses over the darker elements and is played as comedy. Irene and Curdie are portrayed as young adults instead of children, the goblins are forgiven their evil deeds and reform.

It was a book in the "100 Classic Books" collection for the Nintendo DS. Twyla Tharp used the story in the full-length ballet of the same title, it was her first to incorporate children and was co-commissioned by Atlanta Ballet and Royal Winnipeg Ballet in 2012. The sequel to this book is The Curdie. J. R. R. Tolkien's depictions of goblins within Tolkien's legendarium was influenced by the

Meadow Well is a station on the Tyne and Wear Metro, serving the Chirton, Meadow Well & Royal Quays areas of North Tyneside. The station at Smith's Park was purpose-built for the Tyne & Wear Metro, opening in November 1982, following Metro's extension from Tynemouth to St. James; the station was renamed Meadow Well in October 1994, is the only Tyne & Wear Metro station to have been renamed. The station was used by 300,000 passengers in 2017-18; the station is located on the housing estate where the Meadow Well Riots took place in 1991, although the area has improved since it still suffers from crime and social problems and the station has been the scene of a number of criminal acts. Much work, however, is being delivered to tackle to root causes of poverty on the estate through the interventions of three charities: the Cedarwood Trust, Meadow Well Connected and the Phoenix Detached Youth Project. Meadow Well is served by the Yellow Line; this line runs up to every 12 minutes during the day, up to every 15 minutes in the evenings and on a Sunday.

Cypraeoidea, the cowries and cowry allies, is a superfamily of sea snails, marine gastropods included in the clade Littorinimorpha. This superfamily had been called Cypraeacea and was named by Rafinesque in 1815; this superfamily of sea snails have adult shells which do not look like typical gastropod shells because the spire of the shell is not visible in adults, instead the shells are: quite rounded in shape, varying from globular to elongate, with a long narrow, aperture, sometimes toothed. The snails in these families have no operculum; the shells of every species in this superfamily are smooth and shiny, this is because in the living animal, the shell is nearly always covered with the mantle. The largest known fossil cowry was 1828 which reached a length of 350 mm; the largest modern cowry is the Atlantic Deer Cowry at up to 190mm. The largest known cowry from any extant subfamily or genus was the Australian cowry Zoila gigas at about 247mm; this superfamily used to be known as Cypraeacea.

Prior to the recent ruling by the ICZN, many invertebrate superfamily names ended in the suffix -acea, or -aceae, not -oidea as now required according to ICZN article 29.2. The suffix -oidea used to be used for some subclasses and superorders, where it is still found. In much of the older literature including Keen 1958, gastropod superfamilies are written with the suffix -acea; the following two subfamilies were recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi: Cypraeidae Ovulidae Fehse elevated the subfamily Pediculariinae to the family Pediculariidae, the tribe Eocypraeini to the family Eocypraeidae. Both of these groups were removed from the Ovulidae and raised to family level, based on research on their morphological and molecular phylogenic qualities. Families within Cypraeoidea are as follows: Cypraeidae Eocypraeidae: synonym of Eocypraeinae Schilder, 1924 Eratoidae Gill, 1871 Ovulidae Triviidae Troschel, 1863 Pediculariidae
