Re: McKinley: Re: witches

Speaking of Dianna Wynne Jones, I've been looking for her "Tale of Time
City" but the only ones I can find online are first edition hardbacks- out
of my price range. It was a favorite of mine as a kid. Fortunately, I see on
Amazon.uk that it is being reprinted, hopefully that means it will come out
in the US again soon too.
Just got the "Orange Fairy Book" compiled by Andrew Lang, I recommend all of
the colors books he did for fairy tales from around the world.
