Endicott Mythic Fiction discussion

Our March book is The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye by A.S. Byatt.
Who's reading?

I just picked up a copy from the library.
Happily, this book should be pretty easy for folks to locate at their libraries or bookstores (at least compared to the out-of-print Endicott books).

I read this a couple of years ago and I quite liked it.

I really should read more of her books.

I have my copy in hand.

I picked this up a few months ago. Looking forward to reading.

Me too! I just picked it up today!

By chance, I just got this book last week, so I'll be reading!

I've had this book in my To Read pile for, um... too long. It's as good a time as any to finally crack it open, eh?

I finished it over the weekend and really liked it - especially The Story of the Eldest Princess and the last story. Adding lots of A. S. Byatt books to my reading list now. (I'm especially curious to read Possession, which I heard incorporates one of the stories from Nightingale.)

How are you all liking it? Do you have any favorites among the stories?

From what I understand, Possession also incorporates the Rumpelstiltskin tale.

I liked the Story of the Eldest Princess too, and I also remember the one about the guy with the glass key? (Unfortunately, it's been several years, so all the details are a bit blurry.)

If you're looking for something else along the same lines as this book, Elementals: Stories of Fire and Ice is another Byatt fairy tale anthology. I really liked both books, so I don't know why I haven't picked up more books of hers to read.

The Glass Coffin seemed vaugely familiar. I am pretty sure I've read something similar elsewhere. I did not get Gode's story at all but love all the colors in the Eldest Princess.
