false<![CDATA[Tam Lin]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170374235m/51106.jpg511064In the ancient Scottish ballad "Tam Lin," headstrong Janet defies Tam Lin to walk in her own land of Carterhaugh . . . and then must battle the Queen of Faery for possession of her lover's body and soul. In this version of "Tam Lin," masterfully crafted by Pamela Dean, Janet is a college student, "Carterhaugh" is Carter Hall at the university where her father teaches, and Tam Lin is a boy named Thomas Lane. Set against the backdrop of the early 1970s, imbued with wit, poetry, romance, and magic, Tam Lin has become a cult classic—and once you begin reading, you'll know why. This reissue features an updated introduction by the book's original editor, the acclaimed Terri Windling.498791991Tam Lintotal:725|5:256|4:228|3:139|2:63|1:39|7252774109613557falsefalseSat May 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008Sun Dec 16 11:44:38 -0800 2007Sat May 31 12:49:47 -0700 2008

I loved the literary allusions. I found the characters, for the most part, quite believable- and the unbelievable ones were Myth Incarnate, so that was wonderfu...more...]]>

Tam Lin. One would be justified, I believe, in saying that the book is over long and that at times the talk about relationships isn't very adult. In many ways, however, this book is really for those who love literature as well as the story of "Tam Lin"...more...]]>
