Hilarity ensues, from Cimorene refusing to be rescued from the dragon by the well-meaning knights who come to her door, meeting with a princess who can't manage to turn straw into gold, and to tons of other fractured fairy tales. Instead, she ends up as the dragon's cook. About to be married off to the very handsome, very nice, but very dull Prince Therandil, Cimorene decides that she'd rather be eaten by a dragon. 'Cimorene is a princess of Linderwall, a middle-sized, middle-tier, very ordinary kingdom, but she's always wanted to break the boundaries, continually sneaking out to learn all sorts of unprincessy skills from magic to fencing to cooking-at least until her parents catch her. Princess Cimerone ran away to find some excitement. But then, she's never met a witch, a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird or a stone prince either. Princess Cimerone has never met anyone (or anything) like the dragon Kazul.
