Wizard at Work by Vivian Vande Velde

Wizard at Work by Vivian Vande Velde - 134 pages

The wizard is looking forward to the summer break from his students at the magic school -- to gardening, peace and quiet, and being himself.  Then he is "cursed by a witch"  who tells him he will never find happiness unless he learns to be less judgmental and to look beyond the surface of things.  And so starts a summer where he is constantly being interrupted by princesses hoping to have curses broken, princes looking to rescue princesses, and towns wanting to rid themselves of unicorns.
I believe I have read part of this book before in a short story collection.  I recognized the intro to the book as well as one of the stories.  I did enjoy reading the rest of the book though.
