Kimberly Bulcken Root.
A princess would prefer to be "washed overboard in a storm at sea" than marry a prince she didn't pick out herself. She gets her wish and uses her adventures to entertain a prince--who turns out to be the one originally intended for her. The story lacks tension (the tidy ending is predictable from the start), but the drawings of the princess's travels offer some drama.
