I LOVE that Jane Yolen book, and no one else has ever heard of it. Awesome.

That's the coolest part about the Internet - you find people who love the same obscure things that you do ;)

Yeah, Jane Yolen is a great writer. Have you read the young Merlin series? It's youth fiction, but it's really cool.
