Paper Bag Princess Day
March 5, 10:00

Join us in celebrating The Paper Bag Princess!

Unfamiliar with The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch? When the fiercest dragon in the whole world smashes Princess Elizabeth’s castle, burns all her clothes, and captures her fiancé, Prince Ronald, Elizabeth takes matters into her own hands. With her wits alone and nothing but a paper bag to wear, the princess challenges the dragon to show his strength in the hopes of saving the prince. But is he worth all that trouble?

Jen will do a live reading of the book in-store on Saturday, March 5 at 10:00.

Paper crowns provided.

Spring Retreat
April 23, 10:00 to 4:00
Northern Pines Campground

Enjoy a day outside your normal routine with a lively group of readers!

We’ll all read The Fox and I and Pax ahead of time and will explore the theme “Uncommon Friendships” through discussing them.


Our meeting place will be the comfortable Fireside Room at Northern Pines Campground, just north of Park Rapids.

The registration fee of $50 will cover the venue, lunch, snack, and facilitation. Books and travel will be extra. (If you buy the books, we expect you to buy them from Beagle and Wolf. We’lll give you a 10% discount.)

If you’re coming from out of town and want to extend your stay, contact the camp directly for lodging information, 218-732-4713 or northernpines@unitelc.som.


To register or for more information, email sally@beagleandwolf.com or call the store, 218.237.2665.

Everyone in attendance must be fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID.

One of the Fall Retreats is already full!
October 7 to 9 is available: there's a waiting list for October 14 to 16

Our fall retreats are a chance to get away for a relaxing week-end, talking about books with a great group of women, eating food someone else has prepared, all at a leisurely pace. We’ll all read the same three books (titles and theme to come.)

Identical retreats will be held October 7 to 9 and 14 to 16. The second retrreat is full, but we are accepting names for a waiting list. There are still openings for the October 7 to 9 retreat.

To reserve your place for October 7 to 9, send a check for $50 to:

Beagle and Wolf Books, ATTN Sally, 112 3rd St. W., Park Rapids MN 56470
In the check's memo field, indicate the date you’d like to attend.

You can be added to the October 14 to 16 waiting list without the deposit.

As with all our events this year, it’s all dependent on COVID (and we’ll refund all deposits if we’re forced to cancel.)
