The Women of Fantasy

Have been enjoying some delicious old favorites: Beauty, by Robin McKinley, which I read years ago as a child and enjoyed again (noticing for the first time how similar it is to Disney's Beauty and the Beast), some non fantasy genre books - notable Jane Austin - important for any self respecting female reader. Next on my list is A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeline L'Engle, and old favorite. It's really fun to revisit some of my favorites, and seems appropriate somehow for Christmas to get lost in a long familiar read.
