Children's Literature - Jan Lieberman

The second title of the "Enchanted Forest Chronicles' is as witty as the first, Dealing With Dragons. In this 2nd book, Princess Cimorene, chief cook and librarian for Kazul, King of the Dragons, prepares to search for her [the King is a 'she'] when King Mendanbar appears to ask Kazul to help him [this King is a 'he'] find out who is destroying his forest. The two combine forces, locate a flying carpet, a bit on the faulty side, and begin their search. They encounter man-eating giants, roc-snakes, and a host of sleazy wizards. Non-stop action with a cast of strong females make this an enchanting read. 1992 (orig.
