Grade 5-9-In this lighthearted tale of dragon-napping and magic gone awry, Princess Cimorene, a feisty young girl who craves more adventure than palace life has to offer, runs away to live in an enchanted forest. There, she serves as Chief Cook and Librarian to Kazul, leader of the dragons. When an unsavory group of wizards captures Kazul, Cimorene joins forces with the unpretentious King Mendanbar. Together they set out to rescue Kazul and the dragon kingdom. This second book (Harcourt, 1991) in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series continues Patricia C. Wrede's Dealing with Dragons (Harcourt, 1990). However, each book can stand on its own quite well. In this full cast production, the pace is perfect and the delivery is superb. Mike Dirksen and Lauren Singer give especially fine performances as King Mendanbar and Princess Cimorene. Fantasy lovers will not be disappointed in the recorded version of this charming tale.
