Yay! Midori Snyder's Hannah's Garden, the last of the four planned books in Froud's Fairylands series, is finally available for pre-ordering (you're welcome to buy me a copy off my wish list, of course). It's available for pre-ordering at the linke below.

The first three books in the series (de Lint's The Wild Wood, McKillip's Something Rich and Strange (both released before the series was axed), and Windling's The Wood Wife) were all damned fine books. And Snyder's one of my favorite authors, so I'm very much looking forward to this one. Although since it's being targeted as a YA novel, I'm guessing that her talents at writing damned erotic scenes might be a bit muted here. :-)

Thanks for this tidbit! I love Midori Snyder's work. :)

I scored an ARC at the ALA conference and you are correct about the erotica or lack thereof. I *did* review it for Rambles!

Woohoo!!! Thanks!!!!! I can now complete my collection. :-)

must have.

I put Midori Snyder in as one of my lj interests. I dunno why. Her friendly posts to the long defunct Bordertown web bulletin board really endeared her to me, I guess.

I remember some of those. I thought it was really cool of her, especially since, to me, she was a really big name (just because The Flight of Michael McBride was that damned good).

Grumble. I want a copy of Something Rich and Strange. I have The Wild Wood (courtesy of Kat of Kim-n-Kat). I have The Wood Wife. I have read SRaS (courtesy of the library), but I am a completist....especially with pretty Froud-y things. Last time I looked on abebooks.com, copies of SRaS were going for in excess of $100. Not likely I'll get one, is it? :-P But I will get the new Snyder.

Hmm, I think I never finished reading The Innamorati, and I think Erin has borrowed my copy. Not like I have nothing to read! I'm nearly halfway through Sir Appropo of Nothing, which has me groaning on a regular basis, and the new Lisa Goldstein hb is sitting on my sofa. And then there are all the unread books in the bookcases...
