		Patricia C Wrede is the author of a number of fantasy novels which can be enjoyed by both young people and adults.
		Patricia's last name is pronounced "Ree-dee," although I suspect that she would rather have readers pronounce her name incorrectly, but still buy her books and come up to her to talk about them.
		Patricia Collins Wrede was born in Chicago, Illinois and is the eldest of five children.

		Patricia Wrede introduces one of the feistiest and most fascinating princesses in all of fantasydom in Dealing With Dragons, the first book of The Enchanted Forest Chronicles.

		Wrede has written "twelve and a half" novels and several short stories, and has contributed to anthologies (http://www.dendarii.force9.co.uk/Wrede/biolog.html).
		Wrede's questions do not encourage simple yes/no answers; in fact, I would say it is extremely difficult to answer any of her questions in less than a paragraph.
		Wrede makes no recommendations, but if I did these questions again I would definitely have my map in front of me, with the area for my story already outlined.

	Patricia Wrede - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The omnibus edition of Shadow Magic is a revised one; the writing is significantly different from that in the original, and reflects her greater experience as a writer.
		It seems that Patricia Wrede rewrote the story for the omnibus, but this is not actually noted anywhere in the book itself.
		This series features Princess Cimorene, as she becomes a dragon's princess, rescues said dragon, falls in love, and ultimately saves the Enchanted Forest.

	Enchanted Forest Chronicles, The by Patricia C. Wrede Book Reviews
		Patricia C. Wrede is notably one of the best fantasy authors of all time and should be credited for her fine work.
		Wrede writes fantastically and parodises the whole fairy tale/fantasy world while telling an amusing story about an unlikely princess Cimorene's road from a dragon princess to the Queen of Enchanted Forest.
		Wrede's female characters, such as Shiara and Cimorene, are temperamental, clever and fun whereas princesses are described very negatively, but it definately makes the books even more humorous.

		Patricia C. Wrede takes us through yet another jaunt in the Enchanted Forest- this time through the adventures of her main character's son.
		Patricia was born in Chicago Illinois without thought of writing at all.
		Patricia's theme for the sires is probably that it might take a long time to finish a task, but it is worth it in the end.

		Patricia Collins Wrede was born in Chicago to a family of 5 children, of which she was the oldest.
		The Lyra books all take place in one or more of the countries and often don't involve the same characters, just the same customs, land, clothing, etc. In addition to the 3 Lyra novels, there is also an overview of Lyran history and a timeline.

	BookkooB : Shadows Over Lyrr - Patricia Wrede : Compare Book Prices
		If you have already read many of Patricia Wrede's novels you may want to skip buying this one since it is really a repackaging of three previous novels: Shadow Magic, Daughter of Witches, and The Harp of Imach Thyssel.
		Wrede's depiction of magic is very creative and succeeds in evoking a sense of mystery that sets it apart.
		The cultures of "Lyra" are intriguing and her characters have plenty of depth; her heroes have flaws and some of the villains aren't all evil.

		One of the things you may have noticed on my web pages is a large chunk of space devoted to fantasy and science fiction roleplaying games.
		One of the neatest, most interesting worlds created in fantasy is the world of Lyra, a world that Patricia C. Wrede created way back when for a roleplaying game.
		Suffice it to say, one of the strengths of Pat Wrede's writing, at least to me, is the ability on her part to flesh out characters, to bring them to life, and to make them all have cultures and backgrounds that I think make the reader see the difference between her characters.

		I expect movie novelizations to stand alone, but Wrede's novelization of George Lucas's screenplay assumes you already know the Star Wars universe before you begin the book.
		Wrede's Phantom Menace covers the majority of the film's plot, and includes several scenes cut from the film.
		Wrede also supplements the plot with the character's thoughts.

		Much-loved YA author Patricia Wrede (Dealing with Dragons, Calling on Dragons) retells here the storyline of Episode I, The Phantom Menace from opening shot to final scene.
		Patricia C. Wrede is a great fantasy writer (I adore her novel 'Snow White and Rose Red'), so this doesn't surprise me. She has a great feel for writing beautiful prose that is engaging for children and adults alike.
		Obviously Wrede had read, or at least heard about the concept of, the two Jedi Apprentice novels, since she refers to them on pages 4 and 5 of the book.

	Rambles: Patricia Wrede & Caroline Stevermer, Sorcery & Cecelia, or The Enchanted Chocolate Pot: Being the ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		It's co-written by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer, and it was originally published in 1988.
		In the course of their correspondence, they find that they are both knee-deep in a magical mystery concerning the Marquis of Scofield, an ill-tempered witch who tries to poison Kate with hot chocolate, the chocolate pot, a gaudy snuff box and an aristocratic wizard who may or may not be up to no good.
		(Wrede and Stevermer explain how they did this in the back of the book.) The characters are convincing, the writing lively and the letters mesh into a remarkably smooth narrative.

		Wrede sets forth the backdrop and plot of each tale with admirable clarity, letting the reader encounter just enough magic to be tantalized, but leaving them to continue imagining what happens after the conclusion.
		The fairy tales are fresh and imaginative, not overly satirized but full of wit, though sometimes it feels as though she tries too hard to be unconventional; for instance, there are two stories that feature the middle of three princesses who is plain and has adventures.
		Not all of the stories are as blantantly comic as this; several of them contain rather deep concepts for short fantasy works, but Wrede always keeps the action moving so you don’t have much time to get bogged down in conceptual stuff.

	Magician's Ward--Patricia Wrede (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In Magician's Ward, Patricia Wrede returns to the alternate Regency England of Mairelon the Magician.
		Kim and Mairelon set out to discover what the burglar was after, and in the process uncover a dangerous plot focused upon seven French wizards and the treasure they supposedly hid years ago.
		But Wrede's lively writing style, likeable characters, clever dialogue, and command of convincing period detail combine to create a swift-paced, entertaining book.

	Harp of Imach Thyssel (Patricia C Wrede)
		I've read Wrede's Enchanted Forest series, so I was looking for that same humor and lighthearted fun.
		This is the sort of fantasy story I adore -- the magical harp, the conflicting desires of the people who play it or wish to, a world with a varied population of races, castles, forests, secrets....
		The book seems eager to squeeze the history of vast eras into capsule backstory here and there where, if the author had already been mid-series, it might have been better to leave a bit of mystery and work it out in the next book.

		There, she becomes embroiled in a plot by evildoers who want to steal her mother's raven ring (a talisman of power useful against the ancient enemy, the Shadow-born), as well as in a dilemma over the romantic entanglements presented by a wealthy nobleman and a mischievous thief.
		Eleret is a lively, spunky heroine, and Wrede presents just enough exotica (including an exemplary use of an alternate tarot card system) to keep the slim plot zipping along.
		When Cilhar warrior Eleret Salven travels from her mountain homeland to the city of Ciaron to claim the effects of her mother-who has died in battle-she becomes target to a host of enemies intent on acquiring her mother's possessions for their own purposes.

		I'd read Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest Chronicles (Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, Calling on Dragons, and Talking to Dragons), and had enjoyed them, but they didn't please me quite as much as this book did.
