REACH was blessed enough to interview Jane Yolen about the resurgence of prose stylist writing, myth writing and how to get into children's illustrated books and make good. Filipino fans might remember her as one of the introduction writers for the first chapter collection of The Books of Magic by Neil Gaiman, and as a fairy tale writer who scribes her own anthologies of magic retellings. Some of her award winning work include Dragonfield and Other Stories--a fairy tale collection, and Briar Rose--a retelling of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale set in Nazi Germany.
