It's from the middle of the book, when Princess Elizabeth has confronted the dragon, who burns up whole forests with his fiery breath. The brave little princess flinches, but she doesn't run away.Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991243497567962852.post-84968821233215162352010-11-30T10:11:59.852-05:002010-11-30T10:11:59.852-05:00What a great story, Bonnie!

It made me so sad the first few times I read it to my daughter and her response was, "Read it again, but make them get married in the end like it's supposed to be." There goes that lesson.
