The Ogre of Oglefort

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Lisa K. Weber. A hag, troll, wizard, and orphan are told to slay an ogre who holds a princess captive. Turns out the princess is with the ogre by choice: she wants him to change her into a bird so she needn't marry a foolish prince. Ibbotson's playful humor, pungent turns of phrase, and sturdy friendliness toward her child heroes suffuse the fantasy.
