Has anyone else read The Mistmantle Chronicles? I can't remember the name of the author. I read one in a mother daughter reading group and it was a retelling of Macbeth with squirrels and moles etc. for characters. I just don't think Macbeth is a good story to retell for young children and it really gets ridiculous when you have an evil female squirrel challenging the king squirrel's manhood. Just like Lady Macbeth she jumps off a parapet at the end. This one didn't work for me. Peace, Caroline McAlister

Good one! "The Pyrdian Chronicles". Disney made a bomb out of one of the books, "the Black Cauldron", which was notable only as their first "PG" rated animated feature. It was one of the first fantasy series I read growing up, and was a gateway series into such notable fantasies as
"Narnia" and the "Lord of the Rings".

Has someone already mentioned Lloyd Alexander's wonderful fantasies in which he draws closely on Celtic mythology and legend?

I am happy about the feedback i am getting on this issue. Thanks to everyone for being so insightful. Howver, i wonder as librarians and media professionals, have you all come across books that might have depictions or slants on myths, folklore etc that you aren't very pleased with? If so why and how does it affect your criteria for your collection if you have or had one in the library. I am especially curious about this becasue i am taking a class and our discusion last week touched on Native American folklore and problematic depictions in Children's books.
