Synopsis: From the author's website: Short stories and poems all written by me, having to do with angels. A few--like "Angelica" had been published before. But a number are brand new to the book, like "Fallen Angel," a story about an angel whose wings have been burned up when he falls to the earth and how three children build him new ones. Each story and poem begins with a short introduction about how it came to be written. One of the stories from this, "The Word the Devil Made Up", won the 1997 Storytelling World Award. The book was on the 1997-98 Charlie May Simon Preliminary Reading List. inside the book jacket: The fourth in a series of beautiful gift books by acclaimed master storyteller Jane Yolen, Here There Be Angels is a heavenly collection of celestial musings, stories, and poems. Drawn from the author's uncommon imagination, as well as the legends of cultures around the world, these offerings reveal angels in many guises- from the everyday to the extraordinary, from the traditional to the avant-garde- performing simple miracles and transforming the lives of the people they touch, forever. Exquisitely illustrated by David Wilgus's duotone pencil drawings, each piece is also prefaced by an author's note, illuminating Jane Yolen's thoughts on writing, storytelling, and the angels in our midst. A grand companion to Here There Be Dragons, Here There Be Unicorns, and Here There Be Witches.
