Tales of the Frog Princess

Tales of the Frog Princess is a series of novels typically referred to as Fractured Fairy Tales following from the popular cartoon series Rocky and His Friends by Jay Ward. The series of novels is written by Elizabeth Dawson Baker otherwise known as E.D Baker, one of the most popular writers in the Fantasy & Science Fiction, Children, and Young Adult genres. Baker made her debut as a professional writer with the novel, The Frog Princess. With a novel published each year since 2002, the series took a hiatus in 2010 after the publishing of the eighth title only to return with the tenth in 2017. The lead character in the novels is Emeralda who goes by the moniker Emma. Emma is the heir and princess of the Greater Greensward kingdom and a fledgling witch, who does yet have full control of her magical powers. The novels follow the main character and several other characters over a series of sequels and prequels that paint the story of the magical powers in Emma’s family. Over the course of the series, Baker introduces members of the family such as Aunt Grassina, Emma’s daughter Millie, her mother Queen Chartreuse, and her love interest Eadric. While these are novels written for children between the age of 10 and 14, E.D Baker’s wacky human and animal characters and trademark humor means that even adults can find some enjoyment in them.
