From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2--King Wilfred teaches his daughter the same knightly skills he has taught his three sons. Mocked by her brothers for being smaller and weaker, Violetta grows more determined to succeed. She creeps out at night to practice her sword fighting and horseback riding. With perseverance, the "nimble and quick" Princess becomes an expert jouster. In honor of her 16th birthday, the king announces a tournament with the victory prize being her hand in marriage. Outraged and appalled, Violetta cries: "You want meto marry some dimwit in a tin suit? Just look at your own knights! They whip their horses and they can't even write their own names!" Taking matters into her own hands, she disguises herself in armor and poses as "Sir No-Name." After defeating the other contenders, she reveals her true identity and chooses her prize--independence. Meyer's ink-and-watercolor illustrations run across the pages in panels and were inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry. Children will pore over the medieval details. Pair this spirited tale with Robert Munsch's The Paper Bag Princess (Turtleback, 1980) for a discussion of gender stereotypes.--Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada

From Booklist

*Starred Review* PreS-Gr. 2. The author of The Thief Lord (2002) follows up her second novel, Inkheart [BKL S 1 03], with a picture book that will instantly begin appearing on "Strong Girl Protagonist" book lists. Happily, this is so well done that it's likely to win over children who normally prefer their princesses without the revisionist twist. Raised by a widowed king, Princess Violetta is put through the same paces (swordplay, riding, jousting) as her older, brawnier brothers. Her practice pays off when her father holds a tournament--with Violetta as the grand prize--and she handily scuttles his plans. Bell translates Funke's story from the German with aplomb ("You want me to marry some dimwit in a tin suit?"), and Meyer's effervescent line-and-watercolor artwork, as funny as it is lovely, stretches across each spread in horizontal strips--a droll homage to the Bayeux Tapestry. This jaunty parable offers children an endearing, indomitable character along with a lesson in girl power. For a gently feminist storytime, pair it with other tales of assertive princesses, such as that oldie but goodie, Robert Munsch's The Paper Bag Princess (1980), or Katherine Paterson's The King's Equal (1992), for somewhat older children.

3.0étoiles sur 5 She still isn't complete without a man., Jui 18 2004
Par Metis "Metis" (United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: The Princess Knight (Hardcover)
Liked the message of keep trying. Liked the independence and the nice brother.

But no matter what this girl achieved,the story wasn't considered over until she was married.

Please read Rumpelstiltskin's Daughter instead.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Cute Girl Power Story, Avril 7 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Princess Knight (Hardcover)
This is an enjoyable story, especially for little girls. It crushes gender stereotypes while making you laugh. Within a funny, endearing story is the lesson that girls aren't helpless. I still like reading the traditional fairy tales (Cinderella, et al) to my daughter, but it's nice balancing them with an empowering story like this--and especially "The Paper Bag Princess" (my daughter's favorite).

2.0étoiles sur 5 The Princess Knight book review, Mars 24 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: The Princess Knight (Hardcover)
This book is just okay. The knight is not even mentioned in the story. And there ain't no princess either. Now come on, who writes a book with no princess or a knight if it is in the title? I believe that what is in the title should be included in the story. Maybe I am wrong. When I read Dr. Seuss books, if the book was The Cat and the Hat, there was a cat and a hat mentioned in the story. This story is just "different." Most of the books that I have read, mention the words that appear in the title. The books that don't, I usually don't enjoy. If you want to read a book like this, go ahead. I still enjoyed this book. But, nothing can compare to some of Cornelia Funke's other books, such as the Theif Lord.
