Cimorene is fed up! Everything she wants to learn how to do - from fencing to magic - is considered improper for a princess. As if that wasn't bad enough, her stuffy parents have decided to marry her off to a handsome prince who also happens to be a pompous bore. So Cimorene does the only thing that makes sense in her situation: she follows the advice of a talking frog and runs away from home - right into a gathering of dragons. Filled with humor, great adventure, and a host of charmingly wacky characters.
