Jane Yolen is a one woman publishing house.  As a matter of fact, she has
just started her own imprint "Jane Yolen Books" as part of Harcourt Brace
Jonanovich publishers.  Her particular strengths lie in the great
tradition of oral storytelling and folktales: marvelous flowing language,
spellbinding stories, and a sense of timelessness.  And several of her
books are wonderfully illustrated.  The stories range in age from children
(Commander Toad aboard the starship "Star Warts") to adolescent (the very
good Pit Dragon trilogy) to adult (the recommended Sister Light - Sister
Dark books).  Well worth reading.

[C] == Story Collection.
[YA] == The book is for young adults (however you define them).
[O] == Omnibus.  Includes other books.
