Water Tales of Elemental Spirits Robin Mckinley Peter Dickinson Books

This six-story anthology focuses mainly on waterways, water creatures (such as mer-folk), and the people who interact with them. But the last story was different. Remember The Blue Sword? Did you dream of finding your own way to Damar, and having a hill pony and a wild life of formality and feudalism all your own? Well, in "A Pool in the Desert," Hetta starts dreaming her way out of the drudgery of her life, and finds out that maybe, with hard work and hard belief, she could win the dream as reality.

I picked up this book because I loved Fire. While Water does not have the same strength in its stories, they are still good, interesting, entertaining, and sometimes even haunting. I recommend it to people who enjoy McKinley's wandering words and spiral stories.

Water Tales of Elemental Spirits Robin Mckinley Peter Dickinson Books Reviews

I liked this collection of stories focusing on water as the common thread. The variety of stories was good, though they were not all five-star quality they were all interesting. Altogether a good read.
A surprising delight of a book. I typically do not enjoy short story anthologies, but this is a wonderful exception.
I generally dislike short stories, because in general they aren't stories. These are stories, with believable characters who manage to solve their problems in believable ways, always remembering that the framework of magic requires a suspension of belief on the part of the reader.
This is a book of short stories by Robin McKinley and her husband Peter Dickinson. She submits four and he submits four. I like her contributions a bit more than his; his are a little darker, as short stories often are. They're still all worth reading. At any rate, I would buy this just to read the McKinley stories. Enjoy!
I really enjoyed this book, it has great stories, some of them have stayed in my mind since I read them, so I have this book near my bed to come back to them.
It has seven stories

1. Prologue The Water Sprite
2. Mermaid Song
3. The Sea-King's son
4. Sea serpent
5. Water Horse
6. Kraken
7. A pool in the Desert

The stories are mesmerizing, so if you like mermaids and ocean tales, this is a MUST!
I don't know anything about the book
These stories are just what I needed right now. I've been reading Robin McKinley's books for decades and she still gives them the best magic. I haven't read her husband's work before. His stories fit well.
