A good find
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have never seen this book in a store, and as a collector of Robin McKinley's many works, I had to have this anthology. It is a fairly quick read, as it keeps you turning pages. Of course, some of the stories are to be preferred above others, based on the tastes of the reader. McKinley's story in particular was haunting, much darker than her usual stories. I found this a great opportunity to find other fantasy and sci-fi authors to read.
Great Author

This is one of the best books I have read. Robin McKinley paints such beautiful pictures with her words. I started reading her books for a book report, but now I read them every chance I get! If you need a book to keep you occupied, this is the one for you!
