Talking to Dragons by Patricia Wrede is the fourth book in The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, and the sequel to Dealing with Dragons, Searching for Dragons, and Calling on Dragons. In this one King Menenbar starts out imprisoned in his castle while his wife Queen Cimorene lives on the edge of the Enchanted Forest waiting for her son Daystar to grow up so he can go rescue his father. So begins the last of this wonderfully funny fantasy series for children.
