The Paperbag Princess and Other Stories
Original Stories by Robert Munsch
Adapted by Irene Watts
The tale of The PaperBag Princess among other enchanting stories, where Princess Elizabeth’s intentions to wed Prince Ronald are thwarted when a fire-breathing dragon abducts the prince, obliterating her castle and wardrobe in the blaze. Elizabeth dons a paper bag, the only garment not scorched by the dragon’s fire, and pursues the dragon. Elizabeth tricks the dragon into tiring himself out by pointlessly breathing out fire and flying around the world. After the dragon falls asleep, Elizabeth rescues Ronald, who is ungrateful and only mocks her appearance before telling her to return when she looks more like a princess.
