Water: Tales of Elemental Spirits, by Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson

Water: Tales of Elemental Spirits, by Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson. New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2002. 272 p.

This collection of stories explores the magical creatures that live in the waters of the deep, from mermaids to the great kraken. Each story vividly describes these magical creatures in a powerful way.

This first collaboration between husband and wife is as lushly imagined as veteran readers of McKinley or Dickinson would expect. Both authors have a gift for creating rich worlds that envelop the reader, and this is no exception.

Additional editorial reviews can be found at Amazon. Her website, http://www.robinmckinley.com/, is a wonderful source of FAQs and other writings by the author.
