books by Robin Mckinley     books:     Robin Mckinley      Rose Daughter Robin McKinley Ace, 1998 A Wonderful Retelling of Beauty and The Beast!!! I purchased this book with some hesitation based on the mixed reviews I had read. This was an excellent story!! I enjoyed this book so much, it took me less than a day to read it, and I can't wait to read it again! (so I'm not:) What a wonderfull retelling of an old ...             Spindle's End (Firebird) Robin McKinley Puffin, 2002 A truly enjoyable read Definitely not your everyday retelling of Sleeping Beauty. Our heroine (perhaps I should say 'heroines') is not quite what one would expect. Rosie (the princess) is not particularly 'beautiful' as she grows up a plain village maiden who prefers being a 'horse ...             Blue Sword Robin McKinley Ace, 1987 Top-Notch Fantasy The Blue Sword is an EXCELLENT book! Yes, it's a little slow getting started, but the plotline is well worth the slow pace of the first chapter or two. Harry is a great heroine, and the adventure and Damar are rich and detailed. I've been waiting for more sequels ...             Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast Robin Mckinley Eos, 2005 An easy nd imaginative read. The book is very fun and intreging. The details and diction used are captivating. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite story and this version has become one of my favorites.             Sunshine Robin McKinley Jove, 2004 Vampires and Baking I'm a foodie, so it's more than a little fun to read a story where the protagonist obsesses about food, food creation, feeding people, food gadgets, and the assorted food mania that foodies get into. I've loved Robin McKinley stories since I ran into them in middle ...             The Door in the Hedge Robin McKinley Puffin, 2003 Excellent! I sincerely enjoyed this collection of short stories. I am a total sap for anthologies of short stories, and Robin McKinley is one of my all-time favorite authors. I must admit, however, that this is not my favorite group of short stories by her, but it was a great ...             The Hero and the Crown Robin McKinley Ace Trade, 2007 Wonderful Fantasy After reading The Blue Sword (which I loved), I couldn't wait to read The Hero and the Crown. I enjoyed this book, too. It was interesting that the heroine, Aerin, is practically a patron saint in Harry's time (in The Blue Sword), but looked down upon and ridiculed ...             Dragonhaven Robin McKinley Ace, 2008 Dragonhaven I enjoyed the story very much as it revealed the boy growing in awareness regarding his world and his response to it as effected by his mothers death. The dragons are not overwhelming but are still much in tune with the growing problems they presented. All in all a ...             A Robin McKinley Collection Robin McKinley Puffin, 2002 Robin Mckinley 3-pack The first thing you need to know is that this is not hardcover. Its three books. Spindle's End is a very good book (all of robin mckinley's books are), but not as good as most of her books. It's a twisted Sleeping Beauty, where sleeping beauty is named Rosie. After ...             Chalice Robin McKinley Putnam Juvenile, 2008 a satisfying world I've never read a Robin McKinley book where the universe was not one I wished I could inhabit, and Chalice was no exception. The world is well fleshed-out with little heavy-handed explanation, and the reader grows to care about Mirasol's demesne and Master as much as ...             Rowan Robin McKinley Greenwillow, 1992 A sweet children's story I read this book while desperately scouring my library for anything by Robin McKinley, and was mildly surprised to find that it was a child's picture book. Still, it was as well-written as anything by McKinley, and I would recommend it to anyone to read to their ...             Water: Tales of Elemental Spirits Robin McKinley, Peter Dickinson Puffin, 2004 A Dash of Cold Water on the Face This book struck me a blow across the mouth when I first read it, and I've grown in appreciation of it on subsequent readings. These are not pretty stories, but neither are they squalid; they are sometimes slow, sometimes difficult, sometimes piercing, all chilly and ...             The Stone Fey Robin McKinley Harcourt Children's Books, 1998 Beautifully Written, Beautifully Illustrated Really, they should have a separate scale for Robin McKinley. _The Stone Fey_ is vividly written and illustrated, capturing one's imagination in the first page. It's particularly well suited for reading aloud &/or for a "coffee table book" -- eye catching, ear ...             The Hero and the Crown Robin McKinley Berkley, 1986             Beauty Robin McKinley Corgi Childrens, 2004 Enchanting "Beauty" The best-known and best-loved of Robin McKinley's books is also one of the best of the fairy-tale retellings -- "Beauty," a more enlightened, fully-drawn version of "Beauty and the Beast." There's a depth and a richness to the story and characterizations, as well as a ...          products you might be interested in search for books collection, dragonhaven, elemental, mckinley, retelling, sunshine      toavi.com    web we recommend Vampires and Baking randomly chosen DVD: The 3 Sopranos
