(4) 4-6 Foundling Margaret trades her crutch for a magic mirror and sets out to pursue her heart's desire. Her quest quickly becomes entangled with the stories of other familiar fantasy types, each driven by their own desires. Aside from Margaret, characters are broadly drawn, and the meandering plot is over-reliant on coincidence; but Long's prose sparkles, and the medieval setting is drawn with engaging detail.
