Hi everyone, another of Carolyn Haywoods picture books. I think, at least
from my perspective we have all of them, but perhaps not, I wish I could get
a complete list of her books. Ah well. This should be a really easy proof.
Enjoy.

Brief Synopsis:
Only one man in the kingdom is willing to face the king's monster for the
hand of the princess.
Long Synopsis:
A beloved author and distinguished artist join to offer a cheerful fairy
tale of true love and courage rewarded. Their story describes the long reign
of fear created by a king's monster and how it is finally brought to an end.
The king just laughs whenever his subjects complain about the dreadful and
dangerous beast. But when his beautiful daughter, Gabriella, is sixteen and
the palace is besieged with her suitors, the situation grows more serious.
Then he announces that only a man who can overcome the monster can win his
daughter's hand. None of the suitors are brave enough, except for Prince
Michael, Gabriella's childhood sweetheart. Together they descend to the
deepest dungeon, and together they find that facing their fears is the best
way to deal with them. The richly colored pictures in jewel tones are a
feast for the eye, and the lighthearted text is roguishly irreverent yet
still satisfyingly traditional, creating a confection that will bring
delight at each new reading.

The ultimate sense of security will be when we come to recognize that we are
all part of one human race. Our primary allegiance is to the human race and
not to one particular color or border. -Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General
of the International Atomic Energy Agency (b. 1942)
