Fairytale Guest Blog!

Katherine Langrish is the author of Troll Fells and a wonderful book about a changeling called The Shadow Hunt, which you should go out and read immediately, because it's good folklore and good history and very moving and exciting besides.  She also has one of the most interesting fairy tale and folklore blogs I've seen in quite a while, called Seven Miles of Steel Thistles (try saying that 5 times fast).  Not long ago, she asked me (and a bunch of other wonderful YA and children's mythic fiction authors) to write a guest blog talking about a fairy tale that had had some effect on our lives, our writing, or our thinking.  And why, of course.

Mine is on "The Snow Child," and you can find it here.  While you're at it, go back and read some of the earlier guest blogs.  They're all wonderful.
