It's difficult to rate anthologies, particularly the kind like this one with but two authors. I am more used to McKinley's writing style, so reading Dickinson's stories were a new experience for me. If I could rate each story individually, I would, but Goodreads only allows me the overall - so for the stories I really liked, the ones I disliked, and the ones that I only found okay, I ended up liking the book, although I can't imagine ever revisiting it again. (But the stories I really liked, like "The Water Horse" and "The Kraken" will likely stay with me!) ( ) Six stories by Dickinson and McKinley alternately, with a story concerning merfolk or sea creatures of some sort – all except the last story which was by McKinley and concerns her mythic country of Damar. The water element is that a pond in the main character’s backyard is used as her magical means of transport to the desert. Stretching the point a bit. Decent but not wonderful. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Master storytellers Robin McKinley and Peter Dickinson share tales of mysterious merfolk and magical humans, all with close ties to the element of water. From Pitiable Nasmith's miserable existence in a seaside town whose inhabitants are more intertwined with the sea than most people know, to Tamia's surprising summons to be the apprentice to the Guardian who has the power to hold back the sea, each of the six stories illuminates a captivating world filled with adventure, romance, intrigue, and enchantment. Robin McKinley fans will recognize one of the worlds included-Damar, the setting of Newbery Medal winner The Hero and the Crown and Newbery Honor Book The Blue Sword.
