Dubbed the Hans Christian Andersen of America by Newsweek and the Aesop of the 20th century, Jane Yolen has written so many books that she lost count at 250. A writer, teacher and folklorist, Yolen is the latest addition in an outstanding lineup of presenters at the annual Whidbey Island Writers Conference scheduled March 4 through March 6, 2005.

Yolen moves gracefully from children to young adults, fantasy, science fiction, poetry and even nonfiction. Her books and stories have won the Caldecott Medal, two Nebula Awards, two Christopher Medals, the World Fantasy Award, three Mythopoeic Fantasy Awards, the Golden Kite Award, the Jewish Book Award, the Jewish Library Award and more.
