Tam Lin
by Pamela Dean
"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 folk song Tam Lin, and the fairytale of the same name, a
tale of seduction and mortal sacrific about the headstrong young
woman who defies this warning, and then must battle the Queen of
Faery herself for possession of Tam Lin's body and soul. Pamela Dean
has wrought a modern enchantment on this magical coming-of-age tale,
setting it among the outlandish theater majors at a small Midwestern
college.
