RIP fantasy author Jane Yolen, who passed away June 11 at the age of 87 years old. Who can forget such books as "Sister Light, Sister Dark," "A Sending of Dragons," "The Devil's Arithmetic," "Briar Rose," "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodbye,' "The Midnight Circus," and so many, many more. She will be missed.
