Princess Cimorene is not the usual princess. She prefers fencing and politics to sewing and embroidery. Being a proper princess is boring! And things only get worse…


When told that she will marry blue eyed, golden haired, conceited Prince Therandil, Cimorene says desperately that she'd rather be eaten by a dragon. Taking advice (and directions) from a talking frog, Cimorene runs away – straight into another not so boring adventure. But when in the Enchanted Forest, people (and magic) are not always as straightforward as they seem.



In this captivating book, Patricia C. Wrede writes with a magic of her own. Full of excitement, this book is a must read for all fantasy lovers.
