Wrede has written many novels, including all four books in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles as well as Sorcery and Cecilia, The Grand Tour, and The Mislaid Magician, co-written with Caroline Stevermer. Wredes delightful voice is all her own.-School Library Journal (starred review) upbeat and lively story.-VOYA - About the Author Patricia C. Laugh-out-loud reading pleasure.-Booklist (starred review) Full of excitement. If this princess ran away to find some excitement, it looks like shes found plenty! With a new look and new introduction from the author. Of course, Cimorene has a way of hooking up with dangerous characters, and soon shes coping with a witch, a a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird, a stone prince, and some very oily wizards. And not just any dragon, but Kazul-one of the most powerful and dangerous dragons arounds. So bored that she runs away to live with a dragon.
She is everything a princess is not supposed to be: headstrong, tomobyish smart. Book Synopsis Meet Princess Cimorene-a princess who refustes to be proper. This new edition includes an introduction by the author and fantastic new packaging. As Kazul’s princess she discovers unscrupulous wizards plotting against the dragons, learns about magic, and spends enough time turning away the persistent princes who have come to rescue her that she finally posts a sign warning potential suitors to stay away.About the Book Princess Cimorene, the daughter of a very proper king, runs away to live with a very powerful dragon, Kazul. Cimorene endears herself to Kazul by making a most coveted dish - cherries jubilee – and proceeds to create an anti-flammable potion to withstand the dangers of living with fire breathing beasts. While other princesses in the kingdom fret over being captured by dragons, Princess Cimorene leaves her mundane royal life behind and runs away to the Enchanted Forest where she takes up with the dragon Kazul. She wants to learn to fence and speak Latin, both of which are frowned upon activities for princesses. No lady-like embroidery and arranged marriages for her, thank you very much. In the first book of the series, Dealing with Dragons, we meet Princess Cimorene who is not at all interested in towing the princess line. Wrede offers up a perfect combination of adventure, magic, and feisty princess. In The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, author Patricia C. We watched Disney princess fare without qualms, but I also made sure to include plenty of opportunities for them to meet strong female characters in books and movies (and of course, in real life!). Even so, I did want my boys to grow up knowing that women are just as capable as men.
I didn’t have to worry (like some of my friends with daughters did) that reading or watching movies about princesses saved from peril by handsome princesses would inspire a “rescue me” attitude.
