Summary: This book is ridiculus!
Review: Don't get me wrong that's what makes this book great but the plot is down right silly! The other books in this series are a little better but in this book every princess has a fairygodmother, princes are turned into frogs regularly, they have wicked uncle societies and hero schools!Anyway, this book is about Cimorene who is bored to tears being a princess so she runs away to become Kazul's princess which she finds much more interesting but she soon finds out that the wizards are plotting something and the dragon Woraug is involved and you can bet Cimorene sure won't stand for it

Summary: wonderful book and intresting plot.
Review: I thought this book was a wonderful book which had adventure and fantasy all in one. With a abnormal princess who wants nothing to do with being a normal princess. i would suggest reading this book for anyone who likes fantasys

Summary: I would reccomend this book to any age fantasy-lover.
Review: This book is a fantastic fairy tale. It icludes all areas of the traditional fairy tale. Flaxen-haired princesses, handsome princes, dragons, wizards, knights, a king and queen. Yet Cimorene (the main character) is not an ordinary princess. When Cimorene can stand her boring princess life no longer she takes the advice of a talking frog and runs away. Cimorene becomes princess to the dragon Kazul and life is alot more interesting. As soon as you meet Cimorene you'll want to visit her everyday. So if you have never read this book you really should and I assure you you'll be holding you breath to get the rest of the series.

Summary: I would reccomend this book to any age fantasy lover.
Review: If you are a fantasy or fairy-tale lover and have never read this story then you must (I emphasize) MUST go right over to your nearest library and borrow it
immediatly! It has everything traditional fairy tales do kings, queens, handsome princes, flaxen-haired princesses, wizards, knights, and dragons. But Cimorene
(the main character) isn't your normal empty-headed, perfect, princess. No, Cimorene isn't a normal princess.
Though she takes as many princess lessons as she can bear once in a while she just can't stand it and slips off to secretly take fencing, cooking, or magic lessons. She is repeatedly told "Princesses don't do that sort of thing." The last straw is when her parents try to make her marry handsome but boring Prince Therindill and Cimorene runs away and becomes princess to the dragon Kazule. For once she is glad she is a princess! Life is exciting
being a dragon's princess though the knights are bothersome.
Once you meet Cimorene and her friend Aleanora you'll want to visit them everyday

Summary: Entertaining, tomboy princess meets dragon-need I say more!
Review: This entertaining book is one that would be fun for people of all ages. The princess's father won't let her do things she wants to do for fun such as magic, sword fighting,
etc. She runs away, into the home of a dragon. During her stay with the friendly dragon she meets some strange people
and a mean tempered dragon! This book will have you rolling off the edge of your seat with laughter. I would reccommend
this to anyone who's a child, wheather it be at heart or literally.

Summary: ROTFL
Review: I discovered Patricia Wrede's Enchanted Forest Series one week ago. Since then,
I have read all 4 books and can't wait to read more by her.
The series starts with this book, "Dealing with Dragons", in which the Princess Cimorene
is sick to tears of the strictures of being a princess (can't study fencing or cooking, have to study manners) and decides to escape marriage to a handsome but utterly boring prince by running
away to live with the dragons. How she becomes the dragon Kazul's princess, deals with
unwanted rescuers and meddlesome wizards is presented by Wrede with a wicked sense
of satire towards all the traditional fairy tale conventions. Unlike many series, all three following books of the series live up to the high standards set
by the first. Wrede's writing can be enjoyed by pre-teens and post-post-teens (such as myself) - the hardest part is putting down the books

Summary: Dealing With Dragons (Book 1)
Review: Cimerone of Linderwall is everything a princess shouldn't be. She isn't short like her sisters, or as pretty (or dumb). She doesn't want to learn about embroidery, lady-like manners, how to bow perfectly, and, least of all, how loudly it is permissible to scream when being carried off by a giant. So she bullies her father's people into giving her fencing lessons, magic lessons, cooking classes, and many other things. Finally, she has had it. The royal family takes a vacation up to the mountains, and there she finds that she will be married to the son of the royal family that lives there. She runs into a mountain full of dragons, and becomes the dragon Kazul's princess, cooking and cleaning and practicing her Latin skills. She makes friends with the dragon Woraug's princess, Alianora, and, with Kazul's and the witch Morwen's help, she thwarts a plot by the local wizards to interfere with the choosing of the dragon King. This is definitely a good read! It was humorous, and you can tell that it started out as a regular fairy tale, but Patricia Wrede has made it much, much better by doing this. Dealing with Dragons was only the first, and I hope to be reading the other three very soon!
