artist, educator, and mentor.” Her adult novel The Wood Wife won
the Mythopoeic Award for Novel of the Year, her collection The
Armless Maiden was shortlisted for the James Tiptree Jr. Award, and
the YA anthology Teeth (co-edited with Ellen Datlow) was

village in Devon, England.
“If there is a single person at the nexus of fantasy literature, it
is Terri Windling—as writer, as painter, as editor, as muse.” —Jane
Yolen
