The Paper Bag Princess

by
The beautiful Princess Elizabeth lives in a castle and is engaged to marry Prince Ronald. One day, a fire-breathing dragon destroys her castle, incinerates her belongings, then flies away with Ronald. Since all her clothes are ruined, Princess Elizabeth dons a paper bag and sets off to save her prince.
Elizabeth decided to chase the dragon and get Ronald back.
She looked everywhere for something to wear, but the only thing she could find that was not burnt was a paper bag. So she put on the paper bag and followed the dragon.
He was easy to follow, because he left a trail of burnt forests and horses’ bones.
Princess Elizabeth is a daring female protagonist; a superb role model for little ones. She takes matters into her own hands and outsmarts the dragon in a game of wits.
When she reaches Ronald, he’s an ungrateful snot and is disappointed with her physical appearance. Without hesitation, he verbalizes his disgust.
He looked at her and said, “Elizabeth, you are a mess! You smell like ashes, your hair is all tangled and you are wearing a dirty old paper bag. Come back when you are dressed like a real princess.”
In a twist ending that glimmers with female empowerment, Elizabeth (view spoiler)
The Paper Bag Princess is the story of a courageous princess who redefines “happily ever after.”
