ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch introduces Elizabeth, a beautiful princess with lovely clothes who is set to marry Prince Ronald. However, a dragon destroys her castle, burns her wardrobe, and kidnaps Ronald. Determined to rescue him, Elizabeth dons the only thing she can find – a paper bag – and bravely sets off to follow the dragon's trail of destruction. She eventually confronts the dragon, who boasts of his fiery power and ability to fly around the world. Elizabeth cleverly challenges the dragon to exhaust his abilities, setting the stage for the rescue of Prince Ronald. The story explores themes of courage, resourcefulness, and perhaps a subversion of traditional princess narratives.
