I really adore R. McKinley's Beauty (it's on my list of frequent re-read comfort books) and I read both it and her Rose Daughter out loud to the girls, who loved them both, too. Fiona has gone on to read and re-read every one of R. McKinley's fairytale retellings that she can find, although she has remained indifferent to trying her non-fairy tale books; i.e. The Outlaws of Sherwood Forest or The Blue Sword or The Hero and the Crown.
