Notes on Jane Yolen

Jane Yolen has published over 250 books and I have read some for adults and children. At home I have one of her children’s books about four men who are good friends and who do chores for each other on their birthdays – maybe it was called Hands. I remember hearing Yolen speak at the one science fiction convention I attended some time in the late 1980’s. I didn’t realize she rewrites a lot of myths and tales – I believe I read some when I worked in the public library. I also note that earlier this year I read her Queen’s Own Fool. Looks like there are more in this series on the Stuarts.
