By Jane Yolen
Foreword by Larry Ingle First published over 30 years ago, Friend: The Story of George Fox and the Quakers, remains a timeless gift. It brings to light, for young and old Friends, the life and legacy of the founder of Quakerism. Fox was a larger than life personality in a turbulent period in English history. Jane Yolen’s biography sets the context and chronicles Fox’s spiritual development. Never released in a paperback edition, we are pleased to offer this new edition with a foreword by Larry Ingle. Jane Yolen has written over 270 books. She is a poet, novelist, children’s book author, teacher, storyteller, and, most important, mother and grandmother. Her books and stories have won many awards including: two Nebulas, two Christopher Medals, three Mythopoeic Awards, a Caldecott Medal, a Jewish Book Award, and the Catholic Library’s Regina Medal. She has four honorary doctorates for her writing.
