这本书是谁写的？ 珊农•海尔(Shannon Hale) 不是吹牛，我从小就有讲故事的天赋，常常自编自导，带兄弟姐妹一起表演迷你短剧。长大后，我还是喜欢写故事。我丈夫也是个作家，《谁来当王妃》的创作灵感就是和他聊天聊出来的。他说到一本有趣的好书，故事的主角是一个“在皇宫里教导公主的老师”。 这本书2005年出版后，不仅荣获《纽约时报》最佳畅销书，更荣获2006年纽伯瑞儿童文学奖银奖。

獲2006年紐伯瑞兒童文學銀牌獎 書評 本書可說是傳統王妃故事的創作新嘗試。作者鋪陳情節的手法教人驚喜，非常能引起讀者強烈的共鳴。 ──2006紐伯瑞評審委員會 閱讀這部作品猶如攀越高山，一路上充滿了驚險的尖峰與懸崖，故事情節緊密，環環相扣。故事裡每個女孩的結局在在撫慰人心，讀者甚至不時會讀到幽默的精采情節，但這部作品卻非了無新趣、結局可預期的刻板童話；相反的，海爾織羅出一個錯綜複雜、層次豐富的故事，深入描寫並探討家庭、同儕關係、教育，以及我們稱之為家的地方。 ──學校圖書館期刊 在這個以盼求王子青睞為主題的歷史幻想故事裡，海爾巧妙的注入女性獨有的纖細善感特質。故事高潮迭起，情節精采豐富。 ──書單雜誌

Academics criticize judicial decisions in theoretical terms, which leads many judges to dismiss academic discourse as divorced from reality. Richard Posner reflects on the causes and consequences of this widening gap and what can be done to close it.
