I was already a fan of fairy tales and comedy, so it shouldn't surprise you to hear that my favorite movie when I was a child was Snow White and the Three Stooges. Sometimes we went to the movies at an old theater we called "The Sticky Theater" because there was always soda spilled on the floor. The rest of the time I rode my bike with my sister, Loni, or looked after my little brother and sister.
Whenever possible as a child, I read books-books, books, and more books. I was born in Spokane, Washington, but I spent most of my childhood in Camarillo, California, which is about an hour's drive north of Los Angeles. The Runaway Princess is a 2007 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year. Kate Coombs weaves a magical tale full of pesky princes, enchanted frogs, a beady-eyed scarf, and invisibility juice – a tale of wonder, but a story familiar to all who struggle to find their own place in the world. Does Meg find her distinct place in the kingdom, or is she doomed to fulfill her royal duties? Instead, she sets out to win the contest herself by enlisting the help of her good friend, her loyal maid, an eager guardsman, a young wizard, and a tenacious witch. Meg firmly objects to her parents' giving her away, and she certainly has no intention of remaining in the tower where she is sequestered. But Princess Margaret is not your traditional princess.
"In the tradition of so many monarchs, I offer my daughter's hand in marriage and half my kingdom to the prince who can rid us of these evils, restoring peace and prosperity to our realm."Īnd so the contest in the Kingdom of Greeve begins.
