Don't know if anyone has asked this before, but what is everyone's
favourite Robin McKinley novel?
I don't think I'd be able to choose (yes, I know *wimping out*) but
"Beauty" has been on my mind a lot lately because I finished reading "Rose
Daughter" last week and I liked "Beauty" better, though I don't know why.
It was a traditional retelling in most respects even though the elder
sisters weren't horrible and Beauty didn't start out being "beautiful" - or
at least didn't pereceive herself as so.
Karen.

you have either one or the other. Not both."
