The Stone Fey by Robin McKinley, John Clapp
5.0
Although it's been a few years since reading it last, I have read it several times. Not a long story and yes, minimalist (appropriate term?). We were talking about this book at work the other day and I recommended it as a fine example of Robin McKinley's writing without being very long. I couldn't help but notice several other reviewers did not like this book. Harumph.
Beautifully written; yes it is not really a children's story although it can be read aloud to children. Like the best tales often are, Stone Fey will be a different story for each person who reads it. This has got to be cleanest version of longing, destructive; obsession and resolution. Dreamy and pragmatic. Get your little ones' neural systems primed for emotional capacity, complexity, reality, with this little gem. Heck, do it for yourself.
