Dealing with Dragons

by Patricia C. Wrede

Book 1 of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series

Princess Cimorene is bored by embroidery, etiquette, and the expectation that she wait passively for a suitable prince. She volunteers to become the captive of the dragon Kazul, whose library and political responsibilities prove far more interesting than palace life. Meddling wizards and persistent rescuers soon threaten their unconventional arrangement. Witty and cheerful, this fantasy is perfect for family reading about clever princesses, practical dragons, and the pleasure of refusing a role that never fit.
