If you want to be a Sleeping Beauty kind of princess, this book is not for you. The prince, because he ought to know that not every princess dreams of wearing silk, having beautiful hair, getting married or waiting for a prince. Can you name some roles that are meant for mostly men and mostly women? When asking about Elizabeth’s life before the dragon attack, it is important to show the picture on the first page as evidence for the argument that she is happy in the castle. Refresh and try again. Why, if she doesn’t look like a princess and she isn’t acting like a typical princess? This little girl in a paper bag up against a fire-breathing dragon. Now observe the last illustration of Elizabeth dancing into the sunset. (Alisa Siegel/CBC), Robert Munsch with his wife, Ann, in their Guelph, Ont., home. What makes you happy?

“She lived in a castle and had expensive princess clothes,” Munsch writes. It was the beginning of a brilliant career for Martchenko, who went on to illustrate close to 100 children's books, many of them with Munsch.

Is she happier now than at the beginning? It is fantastic. She was excited to see the prince  – unharmed, handsome, and still looking magnificent in his velvet jacket. What do you think Elizabeth’s life was like before Ronald was taken? Note: The CBC does not necessarily endorse any of the views posted. Clearly Elizabeth is happy, but why? Because in a world that’s monopolised by generic stories of damsels in distress and knights in shining armour, it felt like a breath of fresh air. This princess is in love with the prince. She is fucking pissed. This is a classic and I am glad to see that it is getting a special anniversary edition.

"We were committed to these books that were going to take a stand, that were going to be outspoken, that were going to be very creative, revolutionary … and the world was ready for that," he said. Here, one should try to have the students answer the question: “What do you think her life was like before Ronald was taken? Here’s the first thing about children’s author Robert Munsch that you should know. It is not just the princess who could use the change. Ronald is the original troll. The paper bag princess is engaged to marry Prince Ronald, this handsome, uptight tennis-playing eighties-yuppie-style monarch, until she has to battle a fire-breathing dragon using only her wits. The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch is a terrific book to introduce to a class at the beginning, middle or end of the year, since the theme of conflict resolution is a necessary reminder year round. Can someone be happy with just a paper bag? Most of the women in the daycare centre are single parents because their princes turned out to be bums,'" Munsch told The Sunday Edition. Instead of thanking her, he tells Elizabeth to go away and come back when she looks like a princess. But on page three of Munsch’s princess tale, Princess Elizabeth takes control of her life. Does this mean one can choose to be a princess or, indeed, any social identity? Okay. As a woman angry at all that I’ve had to bear with to live the life I want, while (I often feel) the men around me have it easier, I could have ended this right away  because we got the princess to call the prince a bum, kick him out, go dancing into the sunset and not get married. I love to eat princesses, but I have eaten a whole castle today,” the dragon says, before slamming the door in her face. On the final page, we see Elizabeth joyfully heading into the sunset, still in her paper bag, and leaving behind the prince. Beauty is locked in a house with a Beast until she falls in love. Cinderella is locked in an attic until the Prince can rescue her. Not only does her happiness work to justify her non-conformist act of leaving Ronald, the story is bookended by two illustrations of a happy Elizabeth. When she emerges triumphant from battling the dragon, like a spunky, young lady Beowulf, Ronald is totally grossed out by her appearance and tells her not to come near him until she showers and changes and fixes her hair and looks like a beautiful princess again.

“Ronald,” she says, “your clothes are really pretty and your hair is very neat. Check. I love the Paper Bag Princess. Elizabeth puts on a paper bag and sets off to save Ronald.

How does Elizabeth look and act differently from other princesses? Now Elizabeth can save Ronald! Why is this unusual? This re-release of the classic story has a preface by Chelsea Clinton and another by Francesca Segal, plus an endnote by Munsch's wife where we learn that it was actually her idea for Robert to finally tell a story where the princess does the rescuing. I mean, an 80's picturebook about a princess who loses her family and all, and then goes to save her beloved prince from a dragon ALL BY HERSELF - how cool is that?? "This idea that girls should just be nice and put up with things, he explodes that — but into a million shards of light, rather than into something violent.".
