Princess Laura and the Unsuitable Dragon Suitors: stories from Anna's Wood

By Zsolt Kerekes

In one way, Princess Laura was just like all the other princesses you read about in fairy stories… She liked pretty new dresses and shiny new shoes. But in most ways Princess Laura was very different to the silly princesses you read about in other stories.

 

When the young Princess Laura secretly rescues a baby dragon from her father's hunt the dragon predicts that - one day in the future she will be the cause of his death. When Laura's 18th birthday looms her father presents her with a choice of suitors - one from each of the surrounding kingdoms. Laura's chosen suitor must kill a dragon to prove his worthiness to the King. What can she do to make sure that doesn't happen?

review - "An unconventional children's fairytale with a princess I might aspire to being if I were a child today. An independent minded princess who doesn't obey the rules, loves dragons and isn't afraid to reject unsuitable suitors. Vivid writing that conjures up likeable characters."

It seems likely that the next generation of readers will remember me more for 4 little comedic childrens' stories - published on my author site goblinsearch between 2001 and 2004 - than all the many thousands of serious articles I wrote about the computer market in the 10 years before and the 17 years after. It started with a short bedtime story I wrote as a surprise for my godson - Alexander Woyte and the Goblins. Then one thing led to another and I began to self identify myself as writing that kind of thing too.
