No matter, she still bravely confronts the dragon, outsmarts him with her clever tricks, and saves the prince! Very impressive - but that’s not all. However, with all of her clothes burned up, all she can find to wear is a paper bag. Unfortunately, a dragon smashed her castle, burned all her clothes with his fiery breath and carried off Prince Ronald.” After this turn of events, Elizabeth decides to chase the dragon and get Ronald back. She was going to marry a prince named Ronald. She lived in a castle and had expensive clothes. The book begins, “Elizabeth was a beautiful princess. His wife asked him, “How come you always have the prince save the princess? Why can’t the princess save the prince?” And so, The Paper Bag Princess was born! They were both working in a child care center at the time, and Munsch was telling the children lots of dragon stories. Books with strong, spunky female characters bucking stereotypes are much more commonplace in 2023, but that was not the case when The Paper Bag Princess was published in 1980.Īccording to a story on The Official Website of Robert Munsch, the idea for the book came from his wife (very fitting). It’s funny and clever, but moreover, it provides the perfect example of girl power! This book was way ahead of its time, too. March is Women’s History Month and it is the perfect time to give a shout out to one of my favorite picture books, The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch.
