Story
"It is the heart of this place, and it is dying," says the Beast. And it is true; the center of the Beast's palace, the glittering glasshouse that brings Beauty both comfort and delight in her strange new environment, is filled with leafless brown rosebushes. But deep within this enchanted world, new life, at once subtle and strong, is about to awaken. Twenty years ago Robin McKinley enthralled listeners with the power of Beauty. Now this extraordinarily gifted novelist retells the story of Beauty and the Beast again - but in a totally new way, with fresh perspective, ingenuity, and mature insight.

What magical beings inhabit Earth’s waters? Some are as almost-familiar as the mer-people; some as strange as the thing glimpsed only as a golden eye in a pool at the edge of the Great Desert Kalarsham, where the mad god Geljdreth rules; or the unknowable, immense Kraken, dark beyond the darkness of the deepest ocean, who will one day rise and rule the world. Here are seven tales from the remarkable storytellers Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson. Vividly imagined and written, they transform the simple element of water into something very powerful indeed.

Princess Sylviianel has always known that on her 12th birthday she too would be bound to her own Pegasus. All members of the royal family have been thus bound since the Alliance was made almost a thousand years ago; the binding system was created to strengthen the Alliance, because humans and pegasi can only communicate formally, through specially trained Speaker magicians. Sylvi is accustomed to seeing pegasi every day at the palace, but she still finds the idea of her binding very daunting.

Publisher's Summary
Young Robin Longbow, subapprentice forester in the King's Forest of Nottingham, must contend with the dislike of the Chief Forester, who bullies Robin in memory of his popular father. But Robin does not want to leave Nottingham or lose the title to his father's small tenancy, because he is in love with a young lady named Marian - and keeps remembering that his mother too was gentry and married a common forester.
Robin has been granted a rare holiday to go to the Nottingham Fair, where he will spend the day with his friends Much and Marian. But he is ambushed by a group of the Chief Forester's cronies, who challenge him to an archery contest...and he accidentally kills one of them in self-defense.
He knows his own life is forfeit. But Much and Marian convince him that perhaps his personal catastrophe is also an opportunity: an opportunity for a few stubborn Saxons to gather together in the secret heart of Sherwood Forest and strike back against the arrogance and injustice of the Norman overlords.

A great story paired with the wrong narrator
I thought the story was very well done until I had to abandon the book because of the narration. Justine Eyre had presented a very good performance in "Helen of Troy" by Margaret George. This was a 30 hour listen and Ms. Eyre was entertaining, a pitch perfect voice for Helen who is the main narrator of her own tale. However, Ms. Eyre cannot do a lusty outlaw from Robin Hood very well. I gave up after a hour. Too bad all 'round since I would have liked to finish the book.

Great retelling/story, wrong narrator
I've loved this retelling of Robin Hood since I read it (and re-read it and re-re-read it) as a teenager. The characters are very human and relatable and the story intertwines in a satisfying way, with a nice mix of romance and lots of humor and realism.
I'm very happy to finally have an audio version to listen to, but... she's the wrong narrator. She describes everything with a lot of melodrama but none of the humor. Overall, it's like listening to an amusing dinner story performed with all the drama of a soap-opera's weekly climax. I found her narration distracting (and detracting) from the natural warmth of the story.

History as it ought to have been told
Fletcher Robin, who despite his fame, really can hit the side of a barn, if it isn't moving too fast and the wind isn't blowing, gets volunteered to set up shop as forest-based justice adjustor. Marian then proceeds to help him learn to shoot, and to help the wandering lost men band together and figure out how to survive in the forest. With the nudge and help of a few other women, they become heroes. This is not a Mel Brooks comedy, but neither is it a Disney foxy story. Just history as it might have been.
