(4) 4-6 Thinking Girl's Treasury of Real Princesses series. Illustrated by Albert Nguyen. This series highlights the accomplishments of "real princesses" from a wide range of geographies and time periods; these women helmed armies, sailed ships, and led nations. Each (uninspiringly designed) volume opens with a pronunciation guide and includes maps, timelines, archival photos, and sections on food, clothing, and customs. Nguyen's cartoonish illustrations and Bridges's cheekily humorous text are entertaining. Review covers these Thinking Girl's Treasury of Real Princesses titles: Artemisia of Caria, Hatshepsut of Egypt, Isabella of Castile, Nur Jahan of India, Qutlugh Terkan Khatun of Kirman, and Sorghaghtani of Mongolia.
