The Princess Knight by Cornelia Funke
and Kerstin Meyer
Violetta is a little princess who wants to be as strong and brave as her brothers. She goes about her training in a quiet, determined way, and slowly masters the art of noble knighthood. Then to her horror she discovers that she is to be married off to a stranger, in accordance with ancient tradition. With the help of her maid she devises a brilliant trick and turns her fate upside down. This book has a quite unique atmosphere, spirited but emotionally nuanced, with lovely delicate illustrations.
