Just finished "The Unlikely Ones", by Mary Brown. This is the first portion of a Baen Omnibus called "Here there be Dragonnes", which I bought in 2003. It's a very well-done classic fantasy "quest" novel. A young girl and a group of disparate animal companions (a cat, a crow, a fish and a toad), having been kidnapped by a wicked witch and had the memory of their past lives erased, go on a quest to try to discover who they are and what their destiny is. It may sound a bit corny, but it's extremely well-written, and I highly recommend it. You get three long fantasy novels for your money, and I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
