It's very good. <br /><br />My favorite fairytale though is Grimm's The Wild Swans, which Juliet Marillier retold as an incredible historical fantasy called Daughter of the Forest. Although on second thought, The Wild Swans might tie with Robin McKinley's Deerskin, which is a million times better than the original Perrault tale Donkeyskin.Lindsey Carmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389935604095632734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8763911471376369172.post-54254668967580829452010-10-28T16:09:10.609-04:002010-10-28T16:09:10.609-04:00YES!
