I forbid ye maidens all
that wear gold in your hair
to travel to Carterhaugh
for young Tam Lin is there . . .
So begins the ancient Scottish ballad Tam Lin, about the headstrong Janet who defies Tam Lin to walk in her own land of Carterhaugh . . . and then must battle the Queen of Faery herself 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.
