![]() ![]() Together they must understand their own magic, and the magic of the land in which they live. When they do, they find that their path will take them back in time-the Bear can become the King again, and the Hound can become a human woman, fighting at his side. The Wild Man, who had lead the animals against the Bear when he had been a foolish and selfish young king, is the only being powerful enough to stand against this evil force, so Hound and Bear set off to seek him. ![]() But all is not well-the forest they love is under threat from a horrible Unmagic, that drains the life and goodness out of whatever it touches. Prince George and Princess Merit are happily married, and the hound who had once been a princess and the bear who had once been a king have found each other in the forest, and are slowly forming a bond of great affection and mutual need. The Princess and the Bear, by Mette Ivie Harrison (HarperCollins, 2009, YA, 327 pp) picks up exactly where The Princess and the Hound left off. ![]()
