It’s National Princess Week and in Celebration

Here are My Top Ten Princess Books

10.  The Frog Princess by E. D. Baker

(Her prince is lame, but this fun tale inspired the Disney movie, The Princess and the Frog.)

9.  The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot

(A little mature for some readers, but still laugh-out-loud funny.)

                8.  A Little Princess by  Frances Hodgson Burnett                 (Sad, sweet and compelling, a true classic.)

7.  Dreaming Anastasia by Joy Preble

(An interesting modern twist on Russian myth and historical tragedy.)

6. Spindles End by Robin McKinley

(What if Briar Rose didn’t want to leave her life to be a princess?)

5. Snow by Tracy Lynn

(A more SiFi version of an old tale.)

4. Fairest by Gail Carson Levine

(It’s really Snow White but it’s such a fresh take you might miss that fact.)

3.  His Princess by Sheri Rose Shepherd

(A daily devotional for young woman written as love letters from the Most High King.)

2.  Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine

(Beautiful and clever, the best version of the little cinder-girl to date.)

And… #1 is… Beauty by Robin McKinley

(One of the best novelized versions of Beauty and the Beast.  This book takes the tale and makes it deeper and fuller than it has ever gone before.)

Don't forget my novel, Petals, a modern day version of Beauty and the Beast is coming Summer 2012!!
