What this book is about
Patricia Wrede's enchanting first Enchanted Forest Chronicles novel follows Princess Cimorene, who is thoroughly bored with being a proper princess and arranges herself to be captured by the dragon Kazul, becoming her librarian and cook. The novel is a gleeful subversion of fairy tale conventions — Cimorene doesn't want to be rescued and finds the wizards far more annoying than the dragons. Beloved for generations. Appropriate for all ages.
