I had a lot of sitting at a desk/computer work to do last week and so found a quick audiobook to listen while I worked. This is the first in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles which I have previously read. I enjoy children's fantasy fiction because of the plucky characters that I find there.
Princess Cimorene is not happy that she has to be a princess. She sees so much more to life than doing needlework and knowing which fork to use. Dragons are known to carry off princesses to work for them which then spurs knights and princes to rescue them. Cimorene decides to volunteer to be a dragon's princess and lets her rescuers know in no uncertain terms that she is happy in her new role and does not need to be rescued. Her bravery and intelligence help the dragons thwart the wizards and Cimorene finds something she is both good at and loves.
Children's fiction, fantasy, dragons, independence
Recommend: Yes.
