  <about><![CDATA[Jean Craighead George has written over eighty popular books for young adults, including the Newbery Medal-winning &lt;I&gt;Julie of the Wolves&lt;/I&gt; and the Newbery Honor book &lt;I&gt;My Side of the Mountain&lt;/I&gt;. Most of her books deal with topics related to the environment and the natural world. While mostly writing children's fiction, she has also written at least two guides to cooking with wild foods, and an autobiography, &lt;I&gt;Journey Inward&lt;/I&gt;.
The mother of three children, ([author:Twig C. George], Craig, and Luke) Jean George is a grandmother who has joyfully read to her grandchildren since the time they were born. Over the years Jean George has kept one hundred and seventy-three pets, not including dogs and cats, in her home in Chappaqua, New York. &quot;Most of these wild animals depart in autumn when the sun changes their behaviour and they feel the urge to migrate or go off alone. While they are with us, however, they become characters in my books, articles, and stories.&quot;
