Resumen del Editor

Take one bored princess. Make her the seventh daughter in a very proper royal family. Have her run away.

Add one powerful, fascinating, dangerous dragon.

Princess Cimerone has never met anyone (or anything) like the dragon Kazul. But then, she's never met a witch, a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird or a stone prince either.

Princess Cimerone ran away to find some excitement.

She's found plenty.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A decidedly diverting novel with plenty of action and many slightly skewed fairy-tale conventions that add to the laugh-out-loud pleasure." (Booklist)
"A wonderful listen for the entire family." (AudioFile)

Fun road trip story for boys, girls and adults!

No one was bored. Kids wanted to continue listening instead of stop and watch a movie!

my favorite childhood story still holds up

I would fall asleep listening to this as a kid, and they still hold up

Delightful.

Exceptional story. This has been one of my favorite books for years. Glad I got the Audible version as well.

Enchanting!

I've had "Dealing with Dragons" on my tbr for several years now, and many of my Goodreads friends have read and seemed to enjoy it, so I figured it was about time I finally gave it a chance. It was so cute! When I first started listening to the audiobook I was feeling grouchy about something in real life, but after only a few minutes this story had me laughing in spite of whatever it was that had caused my bad mood, and I continued to laugh through the rest of the book. Cimorene's interactions with the dragons, princes, and other fairytale beings were so fun and fanciful. It was a very enjoyable adventure. I plan to check out the rest of the series at some point too.

Wow!😃

fantastic fantasy

I first found this series when I was in High school, and loved the twist on the fairy tales I heard when I was a child. an excellent story for people of all ages, I highly recommend it. I thought this recording was pretty good for an audio book. the sample covers about 1 1/2 chapters so i would advise listening to it before deciding to buy. good luck and happy listening!

An old favorite in audio

I have long loved Patricia Wrede's work. The Enchanted Forest series twists 'fairy tales' in delightful and yet logical and realistic ways. Much like Cimorene the unusual princess, Ms. Wrede uses intelligence and practicality to approach traditional fantasy mores.
In this book, a princess who is bored with 'princessy' things volunteers to be a dragon's princess. She encounters knights and princes determined to 'rescue' her, evil wizards, good witches and adventure. She isn't bored and neither are we.
I enjoyed the dramatized version. I did think the dragons voices could have been more resonant-sounding, but that is minor.

Great fantasy

I read this in fourth grade, and really loved it.

It was a great book!

The book was awesome. The story was so funny and creative. The narrator was very clear so you could underatand her!
