Stephanie Spinner Damosel In Which the Lady of the Lake Renders a Frank and Often Startling Account of her Wondrous Life and Times
Knopf Books for Young Readers 2008 0375836349 / 9780375836343 Hardcover New in Near Fine dust jacket
New hardcover with no remainder mark. Small tear in bottom spine end of book and DJ, back corner of hinge. DJ has some minor shelf wear. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 0.8 x 8.2 x 5.6 Inches; 208 pages; WATER SPIRIT DAMOSEL, the Lady of the Lake, glides through Arthurian legend like a glamorous wraith, shimmering and shifting between the worlds of fairies and humans. Her knowledge is vast (magic, metal, men’s hearts) and leads to her greatest honor—and worst mistake. Damosel makes a promise to the wizard Merlin to protect young King Arthur, and then dares to break it—with devastating results. All the while, 17-year-old Twixt—a dwarf in a world where difference can be deadly—finds himself freed from his cruel masters and moving closer to the one place he never expected to see: King Arthur’s court at Camelot.
Stephanie Spinner intertwines the two narratives of Damosel and Twixt to draw us straight into the rich Arthurian land of enchantment.

Stephanie Spinner Quiver
Laurel Leaf 2005 0440238196 / 9780440238195 Softcover New with no dust jacket
New paperback with no remainder mark. Greek gods and mortals spring to life in this riveting retelling of the myth of Atalanta, the fleet-footed girl warrior who could outrun any man in ancient Greece. An NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies. Professional service from a Main Street bookstore. ; 0.6 x 6.8 x 4.1 Inches; 192 pages; Greek gods and mortals spring to life in this riveting retelling of the myth of Atalanta, the fleet-footed girl warrior who could outrun any man in ancient Greece.
Cast off and abandoned at birth, Atalanta– saved by a she-bear and raised by hunters–proves herself to be a superior archer and the fastest runner in the land. But her skills and independence anger many, including her father, the Arcadian King, who suddenly reclaims her and demands that she produce an heir to the throne. Atalanta has pledged herself to Artemis, goddess of the hunt, who has forbidden her to marry. Unwilling to break her promise, Atalanta suggests a grim compromise: she will marry the first man to beat her in a race, but everyone she defeats must die. All the while, Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite, Eros, and Zeus himself watch–and interfere–from on high.
