My favorite flower, weird as it may be, is a dande
When I was younger I read Gail Carson Levine's book The Two Princesses of Bamarre. I have since read it many times by myself and out loud to younger children. Since I've read it many times, my curosity has grown about the poem that is throughout the book. I've looked everywhere I could think of on the internet to find out if the poem is real. I cannot figure it out. So my question is, does anyone know if the poem in The Two Princesses of Bamarre is an actual poem?
 
I have no clue...

I read the book, which are now packed away, could you write the poem out for me here, Fancying_fantasy. Thanks. :)

Unfortunately my copy is either
A. Packed away
B. Loned out to someone
C. Or lost among literally the thousands of books I own.

I even attempted to find a copy of the poem on the internet, no luck. So maybe this is a lost cause. But hey if anyone knows a real website for Gail Carson Levine, I could attempt writing her an email???????

thanks anyways, sorry I wasn't much help.
 
The Harper Collins link is Gail's official website.

Best way may be to direct enquiries to Harper C. directly.

Here's a link to the question you are asking. It's a poem written by Gail.

I presume this is the main point you want to know?...

The epic poem about Drualt, the original hero of Bamarre, runs right through The Two Princesses of Bamarre. Do you often write verse and was this long poem difficult to write?

I'm not a poet, and I hardly ever write verse. But I wanted the poem to be in the book and there was no one else to write it. I told myself that I didn't know what I was doing, so I should just mess around and have fun. That's what I did, and the verses were what I most enjoyed writing. When I say to myself, “Gee Gail, you've written other books, so how come you're having so much trouble?”, that's when the going gets tough.

I don't know about a poem, but I should check out that book, I didn't realise it existed, and i've enjoyed other books by the author.
