Did Someone Say Dragons?
We like dragons. Well, most dragons! There are some that are not so nice. Not fond of those at all. Anyway, one of my favorite books is called Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. It's book one in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and I wanted to recreate the cover for you.The Shoot
I wasn't sure which angle I liked best. Let me know which you like better.The Actual Cover
Looks like we took quite a few liberties here.Can you count the differences? You may have to zoom in on the photo. Okay, don't count all of them; I started counting and think there are 100 or more!
The Blurb
"'I want to do things...' 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 Cimorene has never me 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 Cimorene ran away to find some excitement. She's found plenty."
Extras
- Book one of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede
- There are four books in the series: Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, and Talking to Dragons.
- We have books 1 and 3; need to find 2 and 4.
- You might be able to find these books at your local library or a used book store.
- We have two copies of this book; the covers are different. (giggles)
- The dragon representing Kazul is Figment from Disney's Epcot Journey Into Imagination Pavilion. His colors have faded greatly over the years; Figment is 34 years old!
