I naturally gravitate towards stories with strong female characters and this quirky book turns the usual princess/knight dynamic upside down.
The kingdom is plagued by dragons and appears to be in need of a brave knight to solve the problem.
An enterprising young knight appears and the queen tells him that if he can get rid of the dragons then he may have her daughter’s hand in marriage.
The knight is horrified saying he’s heard disgusting things about how stinky and mean the princess is and he wouldn’t marry her in a million years.
The queen is angered and tells the nearest dragon that he will just have to marry her instead. Terrified at the prospect of marrying this horrible-sounding princess the dragon quickly flies far away.
The dragon problem is solved but what about a husband for the princess? Hmm. Hang on. Let’s take another look at that knight. Is it possible he’s a she? And is it possible she’s not a knight at all?
A fab, funny story about a very smart mother/daughter duo. Recommended!
