McKinley has adapted some classic folk-tales and fairy tales and rewritten them to make them her own and add a feminist twist to them. Robin McKinley has written some stand alone novels, some children’s picture books, the “Pegasus” series, and the “Damar” series. From the year 1991 until 2015, she was married to Peter Dickinson, also an author the marriage ended when he died at the age of 88. She has never had any children (her husband did, with his first wife), but she does have two dogs named Darkness and Chaos. Not only was it accepted by the very first publisher she sent it to, but it made her a household name. During her time working as a research assistant and in a bookstore, she would work on her retelling of the “Beauty and the Beast” story that she called “Beauty”. She loves bell ringing, learning the piano, gardening, riding horses, and cooking.
