An Enchanting, Magical World of Dragons, Princesses, Princes, A World of Courage and of Darkness By Owl The stories in these four books will keep those pages turning for younger and older. The story centers on The Enchanted Forest, its young King (well, young in Books 1-2), a non-traditional Princess (Cimorene) of splendid competencies including making dragon-size portions of cherries jubilee, a large vividly realized cast of characters including fresh takes on older friends such as Morwen, the witch-with-seven-cats.Best of all, are the dragons, specially Kazul the King of Dragons, she whom Princess Cimorene serves. LOTS of dragons with distinct dragonalities with whom Cimorene has to deal or handle or get along. A Coming of Age tale, yes, but for many ages!I had thought about getting one book to see how I liked it but I'm glad I bought all four at once. The quartet interlocks effectively and it is considerably less expensive to get this set. A friend had gotten me enthused as she described Book 4 as her favorite, much loved book from her girlhood. She remembers herself as 8 or 9 at the time. Some children that young could read & enjoy the tales. Ten to twelve probably would be a better age if the reader is thinking about "The Enchanted Forest Chronicles" as a gift for an imaginative young person who liked---for example, "Brave," whose reading level is beyond "The Hobbit" and who is not quite ready for "The Lord of the Rings."Or as a gift for yourself!ANY ALERTS?: These books are addictive! This is, best started when the reader can enter this world and remain there until the last page of each book. Otherwise expect, "Just one page more, OK?"

Fractured fairy tales By EA Solinas Fairy tales and high fantasy have their own tropes -- wizards, witches, princesses, dragons and princes coming to the rescue of damsels.But none of them will ever look quite the same after reading Patricia C. Wrede's "The Enchanted Forest Chronicles: Dealing with Dragons / Searching for Dragons / Calling on Dragons / Talking to Dragons," bringing together four charming little fantasy stories. Wrede cleverly pokes fun at all the things you've come to expect from princess tales, including the now-cliched rebellious princess trope."Dealing with Dragons" introduces Princess Cimorene, youngest daughter of the king of Linderwall. Like most medieval tomboys, Cimorene is considered rough, unseemly and stubborn -- she wants to fight with swords and learn magic. On the advice from a magic frog, she goes out in search of a dragon to be housekeeper for. But when she's not sending away valiant knights, she's dealing with some very troublesome wizards."Searching For Dragons" picks up when the dragon Kazul goes mysteriously missing. Cimorene is, unsurprisingly, very concerned about this and wants to find her. Enter Mendanbar, a young king as unconventional as Cimorene -- not to mention in need of a wife. But even though he goes along to find Kazul, with wizards and laughter all around, he'll find that he's much more interested in Cimorene."Calling on Dragons" skips ahead to when Cimorene and Mendanbar are mrried, and Queen Cimorene is pregnant. All is right, right? Wrong. Magic is vanishing in the Enchanted Forest; the king's sword has been stolen. To combat the troublesome wizards, Morwen the witch teams up with Cimorene, Kazul, Telemain the Magician, and a rabbit called Killer."Talking to Dragons" skips ahead even further, to when Daystar is sent off by his mom Cimorene with only a magic sword. Poor kid -- he has to help King Mendanbar escape from an evil wizard's spell, without knowing that Mendanbar is his father. He teams up with a hot-tempered firewitch, Shiara, a dragon, a lizard, and a rather annoying princess. Can Daystar clue in before all is lost?One of the best things about "The Enchanted Forest Chronicles" is that it is a pretty decent high fantasy story -- the first book is easily the most enchanting, but the three sequels are also still pretty amusing. But while telling its own story, it's gently poking fun at the sort of things you find in these sorts of stories -- princesses, dragons, fairy godmothers and magical swords -- and how they're typically used.And Wrede's writing matches this plot nicely -- quirky and clever, with a slightly British bent ("Oh bother!") and plenty of humorous dialogue ("If they'd simply done what they were told, they wouldn't be here." "Still, turning them into slabs of stone forever seems a little extreme"). Perhaps the biggest problem with the series is that the third book is rather weak at times, and the dragons are somewhat less prominent in the fourth.Since the Rebellious Princess is pretty standard now, it's fun to see one that doesn't whine much, even if she likes all sorts of things that aren't princessy (magic, fencing, cooking cherries jubilee). So her sensible approach to getting her own freedom is quite delightful, especially since it shows that she doesn't need a man. She has one, though -- and Mendanbar is a good love interest, quirky and pleasant enough. There's also a solid backing cast, including Cimorene's son in the fourth book, the cat-keeping witch Morwen, and the friendly dragon Kazul.Fractured fairy tales, dragon politics and melting wizards can all be found in "The Enchanted Forest Chronicles," a charming little quartet of quirky fantasy books.
