Summary "Davy and the Goblin" by Charles E. Carryl is a children's fantasy novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the whimsical adventures of a young boy named Davy, who encounters a peculiar goblin on a snowy Christmas Eve, igniting a journey into a world filled with fantastical creatures and thrilling experiences. The story is a playful exploration of imagination and belief, reminiscent of the enchanting tales popularized in children's literature during that era. The opening of the book sets a lively scene where Davy, after a wintry escapade outside, finds himself in a cozy room, only to discover a curious little goblin who claims he will take Davy on a "Believing Voyage." This begins after the goblin chastises Davy for not believing in fairies and other fantastical beings. Davy hesitantly agrees, prompted by a nod from a toy soldier on the shelf, and suddenly the room transforms as they embark on their extraordinary journey aboard a magical clock. The narrative blends humor and adventure as Davy encounters eccentric characters and delightful challenges, indicating that this whimsical journey will be filled with unexpected wonders and playful antics.
