  1. I'm going to do it chronologically rather than by type of book. So it will be a mix of novels, short stories, picture books. I want to see how her craft evolves over time.

  6. Saw that Jane Yolen died recently. I wrote a short essay about one of her many, many books, "Good Griselle", for a special issue of Disability Studies Quarterly in 2004. #JaneYolen #DisabilityStudies #ChildrensLit

  11. I am so sad. Jane Yolen has passed away. I think I STILL have How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight memorized from reading it thousands of times when the kids were littles. We had every book in the series and I loved reading them! Glad she helped provide such great and loving memories for me with my kids!

  22. Latest read, The White Seal Maid (1977) by Jane Yolen, from the collection The Midnight Circus. A fisherman takes a selchie, a shape changer, for a wife and loses her, and their sons, to the sea.
    Fable-like, melancholy, lyric.

  27. @grail143 Iʼm liking the freshness of Mastodon with European input. (never got on Twitter much, but saw posts by following politics) Found a good book - "Attack of the Black Rectangles" - a middle-grade chapter book with Jane Yolen as hero #books #JaneYolen #AmySarigKing #JuvenileLiterature

  30. Well, it's good to meet so many great #authors, on Mastodon. I was a #JaneYolen fan even back in the 1990's. I read The Devil's Arithmetic as required reading, and I was so enamored with the author that I read the entire Pit #Dragon Trilogy, which is delightfully disturbing if you interpret the treatment the dragons as a metaphorical representation of the mass dehumanization of entire races and classes of human beings. I think #NaomiNovik got it, thus the socialist vibe in her own dragon #books.
