  <default_description>Master storyteller Robin McKinley here spins two new fairy tales and retells two cherished classics. All feature princesses touched with or by magic. There is Linadel, who lives in a kingdom next to Faerieland, where princesses are stolen away on their seventeenth birthdays-and Linadel's seventeenth birthday is tomorrow. And Korah, whose brother is bewitched by the magical Golden Hind; now it is up to her to break the spell. Rana must turn to a talking frog to help save her kingdom from the evil Aliyander. And then there are the twelve princesses, enspelled to dance through the soles of their shoes every night. . . . These are tales to read with delight!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A Door in the Hedge by Robin McKinley is a small collection of short stories. There are 4 stories total, 2 new stories and 2 stories retold. My favorite was the first, The Stolen Princess; one of the new stories. She completely draws you in and before you know it, you have finished the book.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a book of short(ish) stories, some adapted from Fairy tales, like the 12 dancing princesses, some original.  But I love them all!  Classic Robin McKinley, with beautiful prose and a magical world.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book contains four short stories.  Two are original tales and the others are retellings of The Frog Prince and The Twelve Dancing Princesses.  The stories were alright, but a couple of them ended rather abruptly.  They had been building characters and plot over chapters up to a climax that was ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65716181">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I would say that some of the stories were better written then others.  I really enjoyed the 12 dancing princesses and the princess and the frog.  The other stories were good but short and needed a little more to them.]]></body>
