The Paper Bag Princess 25th Anniversary Edition: The Story Behind the Story

Originally published in 1980, The Paper Bag Princess tells the tale of a quick-witted princess who outsmarts a fire-breathing dragon to rescue the prince she was supposed to marry. This 25th-anniversary edition reprints the beloved story in a larger format, adding more than thirty pages of never-before-published sketches, drafts, and anecdotes about author Robert Munch and illustrator Michael Martchenko. The extra material offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the book was created and the challenges it faced on its way to publication. Together, the classic adventure and the insider perspective give readers both the original tale and a rare glimpse into its creative origins.
