What could be better than finding out you're a princess? Well, nothing. But a sparkly, cute box set containing your two favorite books comes awfully close.
The Princess Diaries Collection includes the paperback editions of the first two books in the New York Times best-selling series, The Princess Diaries, and Princess in the Spotlight.
Meg Cabot is the author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed, immensely popular Princess Diaries novels, as well as All-American Girl, Haunted, and two Regency novels, Nicola and the Viscount and Victoria and the Rogue. Meg was born in Bloomington, Indiana, and her childhood was spent in pursuit of air conditioning, of which there was little at the time in southern Indiana. A primary source proved to be the Monroe County Public Library, where Meg whiled away many hours, reading the complete works of Jane Austen, Judy Blume, and Barbara Cartland.
Armed with a fine arts degree from Indiana University, Meg moved to New York City, intent upon pursuing a career in freelance illustration. Illustrating, however, soon got in the way of Meg's true love, writing, and so she abandoned it and got a job as the assistant manager of an undergraduate dormitory at New York University, writing on the weekends, and whenever her boss wasn't looking.
Meg lives in New York City with her husband, Benjamin, a poet, financial market writer and fellow Hoosier, and their one-eyed cat, Henrietta.

Princess Diaries Times Two,
By Kristy Howard "Student" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess Diaries Collection, Vols. 1 and 2 (Paperback)
This collection of Books 1 and 2 gives you more of an insight into the saga of Mia, an awkward teen, who suddenly finds herself a Princess of a small country. I saw the movie before I read the books, and found them different from one another. The movie is very Disney, while the book is filled with more angst and depth. While I enjoyed the movie, the books themselves are worth reading in order to get the real sense of Mia's inner thoughts or "diary".

The Princess Diaries,
By Jen D. (Aliso Viejo, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess Diaries Collection, Vols. 1 and 2 (Paperback)
This book is such a good learning book for any teenage girl. When everything is going wrong for Mia, all of a sudden something could change her life. You have to read this book to find out what a remarkable life she has ahead of her! "The Princess Diaries" shows you what some teenage girls go through everyday in high school. But don't we all wish we could have the opportunity that Mia gets in this book! I would recommend this book to anyone!

Meg Cabot's a comedic genius!,
By Kristin (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Princess Diaries Collection, Vols. 1 and 2 (Paperback)
I have read all three of the Princess books and I love them! The Princess Diaries is the only book I have ever wanted to read twice. Meg Cabot's books are imaginative and funny. I found myself in hysterical fits of laughter when Mia landed herself in embarassing situations, and I smiled along with her during conversations with Michael Moscovitz. Cabot makes it easy to feel like you're a part of Mia's world. I can not wait for the next book in this series to come out and until then will have to resort to rereading volumes 1,2, and 3 again and again. If you have seen the movie and you thought it was good, read the books! They're 100 times more delightful!
