Dealing with Dragons
By Patricia C. Wrede
Princess Cimorene is anything but a typical princess: she won’t learn dancing, embroidery or etiquette, but she LOVES fencing, cooking, and juggling, all of which are not the proper activities for a princess, according to her parents. Finally, her parents go too far, and try to force her to marry a prince from a near-by kingdom. Cimorene takes her fate into her own hands and heads off to find the fierce dragons on the outskirts of the kingdom, thinking that if she is eaten, she won’t have to be married. Instead of frying her for dinner, the dragons allow her to live with them as their cook. This wonderful book is the first in a series of four, providing ample time for Cimorene to keep doing exactly what isn’t proper.
