Attention, locals

[pegkerr]

Anyone local have a copy of any of the following that I can borrow for the next couple of weeks (for writing my paper)?:

The Stone Fey [Thanks, faeriemusicsmom!]
Deerskin [Thanks, haddayr!]
Sunshine [Thanks, naomikritzer]

All by Robin McKinley. Thanks. Note: the paper is being presented 11/17/07, so I need to write it mostly next weekend.

I read Deerskin last year, and I just read Sunshine last month. Both are absolutely extraordinary! I'll have to see if my library has The Stone Fey.

And the "heart of stone" motif is very prominent in Peter Straub's "Ashputtle," a very dark revision of the Cinderella story. If you're interested, I can get you a copy when I return home for Thanksgiving.

Great suggestion; I'll have to see if I can find "Ashputtle" (is that a short story or novel or . . .?) As for the others, I'm getting Sunshine and Deerskin from naomikritzer so I just need to find The Stone Fey. I'm tight on time since the paper's being presented November 17, so I'll have to find a copy some other way before then.

It's a short story. Best of luck!
