This updated edition features a new introduction by the author and fantastic new packaging. “Wrede's tongue-in-cheek humor balances well with sweet adolescent discovery, and the result is another winning chapter in a delightful tale.”—School Library Journal “Sensible princess Cimorene meets sensible king Mendanbar of the Enchanted Forest, and they sensibly decide to get married—but not before each mistakes the other for those greatest of twits, the pompous hero and the simpering princess…This sequel to revisionist-fabulist Wrede's Dealing with Dragons (1990) is as sprightly as the original…A refreshing romp.”—Kirkus Reviews “Dealing as it does with dragon-napping and magic-stealing, this sequel…puts a whimsical spin on familiar fairy-tale elements.”—Publishers Weekly
