Description:

The Princess Elizabeth is slated to marry Prince Ronald when a dragon attacks the castle and
kidnaps Ronald. In resourceful and humorous fashion, Elizabeth finds the dragon, outsmarts him,
and rescues Ronald--who is less than pleased at her un-princess-like appearance. Full color.
About Author:

Robert Munsch was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Fordham University in
1969 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in history and from Boston University in 1971 with a Master of
Arts degree in anthropology.
He studied to become a Jesuit priest, but decided he would rather work with children after jobs at
orphanages and daycare centers. In 1973, he received a Master of Education in Child Studies
from Tufts University. In 1975 he moved to Canada to work at the preschool at the University of
Guelph in Guelph, Ontario. He also taught in the Department of Family Studies at the University of
Guelph as a lecturer and as an assistant professor. In Guelph he was encouraged to publish the
many stories he made up for the children he worked with.
Munsch's wife delivered two stillborn babies in 1979 and 1980. Out of the tragedy, he produced
one of his best-known books, Love You Forever. This book was listed fourth on the 2001
Publishers Weekly All-Time Best selling Children's Books list for paperbacks at 6,970,000 copies
(not including the 1,049,000 hardcover copies). The Munsches have since become adoptive
parents of Julie, Andrew and Tyya (see them all in Something Good!)
Munsch has obsessive-compulsive disorder and has also suffered from manic depression. In
August 2008, Munsch suffered a stroke that affected his ability to speak in normal sentences. He
has recovered enough that he is able to perform live, but has put his writing career on hold until he
is fully recovered.

He probably believes in climate change. Wasn't there something about limiting methane emissions
from his swamp?

I don't remember, but I wouldn't be surprised.
The biggest thing in his favour, IMO, is that he brough Princess Fiona from her palace to his hut
and helped her become ugly.
BTW, How to Train Your Dragon is also rather pro-dragon, even though it admits human
supremacy. A dragon may consider it condescending and racist.
