신비로운 겨울밤을 배경으로 한 은 자연을 인간과 동격으로 놓고 인간이 어떻게 자연과 공존하면서 이 우주를 이루고 있는지 느끼게 해 주는 그림책이다.

보름달이 뜬 깊은 겨울밤에 아버지와 딸이 부엉이를 보러 나간다. 온누리는 하얗게 눈에 덮힌 채 고요히 잠들어 있고 나무들도 마치 조각처럼 조용히 서 있다. 아버지와 딸은 깊이 잠들어 있는 세상이 행여나 깰세라 숨도 크게 쉬지 않고 발도 크게 떼지 않는다.

날은 춥고 컴컴한 숲에서는 무서운 것이 튀어나올 것만 같지만 아이는 꾹 참고 아버지를 따라간다. 마침내 숲 깊숙한 데까지 와서 아버지가 부엉이와 똑같은 소리로 그 신비한 밤새를 불러내자 눈이 부리부리한 부엉이 한 마리가 부녀 앞에 모습을 드러낸다.

부드럽고 차분하게 읽히는 시적인 문장과 정교하고 드라마틱한 수채화 그림은 시 읽기를 낯설어하는 어린이들에게 시적 정서를 체험케 해주고 자연의 신비에 눈뜨게 해준다. 부모가 읽어줄 때에는 나이에 상관없으나 혼자서 그림책에 담긴 정서를 제대로 수용하려면 초등학교 고학년에게 읽히는 것이 적당하다. 이 책은 1988년 미국 도서관 협회에서 주관하는 칼데콧 상을 수상한 바 있다.

Where is Wendy? Leading a labor strike against the Lost Boys, of course!

It’s time to go back to—and beyond—the treasured tales you thought you knew: The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and many more. Ringmaster and internationally bestselling author Jane Yolen (Briar Rose, Sister Emily’s Lightship) spins modern fantasy classics for delighted readers. A girl blown away from Kansas returns as a sophisticate with unusual gymnastic abilities. A talented apprentice, forging her first sword, is suddenly left to the mercies of Merlin. Alice’s infamous nemesis has jaws and claws, but also lacks the essential: a sense of humor.

Witty and bold, and unexpected, these tales go well beyond the rabbit hole and back again.

Tender and heartrending, Jane Yolen’s clear-eyed tale of a child’s effort to rescue a beached whale evokes a fierce love of wildlife and a universal sense of loss.

Sally and her brothers are walking home from school along the dunes in their Maine town when they come upon an enormous whale. He’s stranded on the beach. Her brother runs for help, and many people rally to respond, but the tide is going out quickly and the whale is just so big. Still, Sally is able to sit near the whale’s massive eye and tell him he’s beautiful and strong, and that she will miss him no matter what happens. Master storyteller Jane Yolen and illustrator Melanie Cataldo have created an authentic portrait of vulnerability that is at once spare, moving, and honest.

A little girl and her brother live happily with their parents in Paris, until their world starts to change. They must wear yellow stars on their clothes and can no longer eat at their favorite boulangerie. Soon, the Nazi soldiers are marching across the city, and the little girl and her family must flee or risk being sent to a concentration camp. They take as much as they can carry and run into the woods, where they meet up with resistance fighters. But they're still not safe, so they travel over mountains to the sea where they can get on a boat to England. The entire time they're gone, the little girl thinks of the stone angel near their apartment in Paris, and imagines it watching over her family. Finally, when the war ends and the family can return, the little girl is able to find her favorite statue and thank the angel for the protection it offered while they were gone. Jane Yolen returns to the material she mined in her award-winning novel THE DEVIL'S ARITHMETIC and explores the experience of French Jews during World War II.

Veteran author Jane Yolen joins forces with Heidi E. Y. Stemple to present women through history, each of whom has a rotten reputation. The reader decides whether Tituba was really a conspiring witch or just a humble housemaid and analyzes the evidence stacked for and against Lizzie Borden. Each chapter ends with comic panels featuring caricatures of the authors discussing each woman, with Heidi arguing as the prosecution and Jane arguing in favor of considering the context.

Young James, an earl’s son, is a bit bothersome and always asking the oddest questions. In despair—the last of James’ tutors having quit—his mother sends him off to be educated at Cranford Abbey. She feels the strict regimen will do him a world of good. But Cranford Abbey has its own problems. It has been falling into disrepair. The newly appointed Abbot Aelian takes it upon himself to save the abbey with the use of his secret weapon: a recipe for golden apple cider passed down in his family for many generations. He believes that by making and selling the cider, the monks will raise necessary funds to restore the abbey to its former glory. Abbot Aelian has everything he needs—almost. One obstacle stands in his way, unicorns that happen to feast specifically on the golden apples. Abbot Aelian and his men must fight off the unicorns to make the cider. He and the monks try to form a battalion to fight off the beasts; next they import heroes to fight for them. But the heroes run off, monks are injured, and a herd of ravenous unicorns continue munching. After no success, the abbot finally calls upon the most unlikely of heroes, one suggested by no other than young James. That hero is small and unprepossessing but possesses the skill to tame the beasts. Though wildly skeptical, Abbot Aelian must risk everything and believe in this recommended stranger or risk the fall of Cranford Abbey.

In these twenty-eight magnificent tales, which include two Nebula Award winners, Jane Yolen puts a provocative spin on familiar storybook worlds and beloved fairy tale characters.
