** It also works the other way around: Honest and upright people will have human hands to Curdie's touch, and notably Lina also has human hands inside her bestial paws, suggesting that she is in the middle of a prolonged HeelFaceTurn.

Curdie, one of the heroes of the previous novel, is now fighting against traitors to the kingdom to restore the rightful king's rule.
!!''The Princess and Curdie'' novel has examples of:
* AesopAmnesia: At the beginning, Curdie has forgotten that he ''did'' believe in Irene's grandmother, and has convinced himself it was all a dream.
* BabiesEverAfter: Averted; it is stated they never had any children.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Curdie and his allies defeat the traitors and restore the rightful king's rule, and Curdie finds gold under the city to restore the king's treasury, and then later Curdie marries Princess Irene and becomes king. But after they die]], the kingdom degenerates again, [[spoiler:people become greedy and selfish once more, and [[GoldFever the new king continues mining under the city]] so much that the city collapses]], killing everyone.
* ComesGreatResponsibility: Irene's grandmother warns Curdie against using his new DetectEvil power for personal gain.
* DetectEvil: Irene's grandmother gives Curdie the ability to touch someone and feel what kind of animal they are on the inside (e.g., pig, snake, dog, etc.). This reflects what kind of temperament and moral values the person has, which is handy for identifying traitors.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: Curdie is treated badly by most of the people he meets in his travels, despite saving the princess, almost single-handedly defeating the goblins, and being personally honored by the king in the previous book. Even his miner co-workers treat him as just one of the guys.
* EvilChancellor: Not just the chancellor, but apparently the king's entire court has plotted against him.
* FeatheredFiend: Curdie is attacked by some evil birds after he unwittingly travels through a ForbiddenZone.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Lina is a hideous-looking, but very friendly, vaguely dog-like creature who follows Curdie around and proves very useful in his quest.
