Y is for ... Jane Yolen


Jane Yolen's "Briar Rose," at Amazon

Jane Yolen has authored more than three hundred books, mainly fantasy, fairy and folk tales for children and young adults. She's also written a few books on writing for children, and edited numerous fantasy anthologies.

My favorites by her are the dark Sleeping Beauty retelling, Briar Rose, "The Girl in the Golden Bower," and her retelling of "Sleeping Beauty," illustrated by Ruth Sanderson.
