«The Paper Bag Princess» is the children's picture book by Robert N. Munsch, published by Annick Press in hardback (32 pages, in English).
Princess Elizabeth is about to marry Prince Ronald when a dragon ravages her castle and kidnaps Ronald. With only a paper bag for clothing, Elizabeth sets out to rescue him and finds the dragon, whom she defeats with cunning, not force. A humorous tale about intelligence over appearance.
Part of the Classic Munsch collection, of 19 books, with illustrations by Michael Martchenko; original edition 1980.
For early readers aged 4 to 7 and for those who enjoy stories that turn the princess archetype on its head.
Robert Norman Munsch is an American-born Canadian children's author. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he moved to Canada in 1975 to work at the University of Guelph. His unique storytelling style comes from interactively developing stories with children, taking events from their lives and experience and greatly exaggerating them into the realm of the ridiculous and sometimes fantastical. He has received a Juno Award, induction into the Order of Canada, a star in Canada's Walk of Fame, and has two public schools in Ontario named after him. His books have sold millions of copies, and he has the dubious honour of being the most stolen author in the Toronto Public Library system.
