[Boxed Set] by Patricia C. Wrede (2003-07-01) - The Enchanted Forest Chronicles

Book arrived a week early (according to the store tracking) & in outstanding condition! Dust-jacket intact with only very light wear at the corners. Pages clean with no folds or tears. Cover strong with no writing or marks. Loved these books since I was a young girl and am VERY happy to have them in my collection again, in such a great all-in-one book!! A+ seller!!!!

I bought these books as a christmas present for my husband. He started reading them and couldnt put them down, after hed finish a book, id start the next one, eventually we caught up with eachother and read together, it made for great dinner conversation! lol! Wonderful stories!

I have loved The Enchanted Forest Chronicles since I was in eighth grade. Cimorine is headstrong and humorous. At times I have to stop reading to laugh. She reminds me of a medieval Harry Potter. Anyone who enjoys the Harry Potter books will love these books. I prefer this book because it is all put together in one hard cover edition, but the individual books are great too.

A really fun series. I remember checking these out from the library as a kid and was very excited to find a set to own and read again. Definitely a good choice for the book shelf someday when I have kids.

Exactly the covers I wanted. I've wanted this set for a while now (I love these books...they are cute and funny without having any questionable bits--a rare find these days) and I am happy to have it.

these stories are wonderful. i laughed through half of the books, and then i had some of my elementary age cousins read the series as well. they were able to comprehend them easily, as well as finding them enchanting.

Delightful in every way as it hilariously pokes fun at the people in fairy tales. Sensible and determined Princess Cimorene avoids being rescued while dealling with underhanded wizards as well, and still has time to make Cherries Jubilee...what a princess.

I always loved this series growing up and am excited to share it with my younger sister in law. It came shrinkwrapped in a nice little collector's box. I would recommend this series to all spunky young girls, and this set is a lovely way to gift this series.

While I was disappointed in the quality of the box meant to hold the set, the books are well worth the purchase. I sold many copies of this series as a bookseller at our local bookstore. I described the stories as an "expanded fairytale" and suggested folks try just the first book if they were unsure about the series. They always came back for the rest of the series. While the books might be appropriate at a third grade reading level, I found that an older age didn't matter in the enjoyment of the stories. I've been holding back on buying the series for my granddaughter, waiting for her to become a third grader. She is finally at that age and I can't wait to give these to her as a Christmas/birthday gift!

This was my favorite series growing up. It opened up a world of imagination for me and my friends as well as providing strong female heroines to look up to. Beautifully written and definitely something I plan to share with my children someday!
