Brimming with ballads, riddles, and magical transformations, here is the timeless tale of a charismatic bard whose talents earn him a two-edged otherworldly gift.<br><br>A minstrel lives by his words, his tunes, and sometimes by his lies. But when the bold and gifted young Thomas the Rhymer awakens the desire of the powerful Queen of Elfland, he finds that words are not enough to keep him from his fate. As the Queen sweeps him far from the people he has known and loved into her realm of magic, opulence—and captivity—he learns at last what it is to be truly human. When he returns to his home with the Queen’s parting gift, his great task will be to seek out the girl he loved and wronged, and offer her at last the tongue that cannot lie. 1105644 book 1990 Thomas the Rhymer total:262|5:53|4:95|3:92|2:19|1:3| 262 962 438 39 4 0 false false Mon Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 14:55:56 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 15:00:10 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Tue Dec 03 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Thu Jul 03 04:58:08 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 31 02:44:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1995 Mon Jan 28 19:42:51 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 20:04:03 -0800 2008 Thomas The Rhymer ballad that carried so much fascination for me?
