In 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.

Over five hundred years ago, Tam Lin betrayed the Queen of the Fae, leaving her to be with his human lover Janet. Tom, a literature professor, knew the story. Adopted, he spent his life studying the stories of others and their families, never knowing his own. When his boyfriend, Ariel, gifted Tom an all expense paid trip to Ireland to seek out his Ulster-Scots roots, the professor of literature never expected to find out how his story tied into the legendary Ballad of Tam Lin and that fairies never break their promises.

A fantastic tale by the legendary Diana Wynne Jones—with an introduction by Garth Nix. Polly Whittacker has two sets of memories. In the first, things are boringly normal; in the second, her life is entangled with the mysterious, complicated cellist Thomas Lynn. One day, the second set of memories overpowers the first, and Polly knows something is very wrong. Someone has been trying to make her forget Tom - whose life, she realizes, is at supernatural risk. Fire and Hemlock is a fantasy filled with sorcery and intrigue, magic and mystery - and a most unusual and satisfying love story. Widely considered to be one of Diana Wynne Jones's best novels, the Firebird edition of Fire and Hemlock features an introduction by the acclaimed Garth Nix - and an essay about the writing of the book by Jones herself.

“What are you doing?” the man asked again. His voice was soft as a rose petal. “Picking roses.” Janet took a step to one side, where she wouldn’t have to stare into the sun. He turned with her and the afternoon sun illuminated his face: high, wide cheekbones beneath eyes as bright and blue as the sky. His full lips were pressed together with displeasure. “Carter Hall is mine,” he said in his too calm, too quiet tone. “Those are my roses.” “Yours?” Janet asked. “It’s in the middle of Chaster’s Wood and Chaster’s Wood is mine. My father gave it to me.” Or he would, when she asked him to. “No one comes to Carter Hall without leave from me.” “I’ll come and go as I please.” Janet lifted her chin stubbornly. “And I’ll ask no leave of you.” In the ruins of Carter Hall, headstrong Lady Janet Dunbar encounters a mysterious stranger. Tam Lin claims Carter Hall as his own, yet Janet believes it to be part of her own lands. Thus begins a battle of wills — and as Janet seeks to assert herself mistress of Carter Hall, she realizes how much more there is at stake… Tam Lin, also known as Child Ballad 39, has been retold many times in many mediums. This version is not intended for readers under 18. Don't miss Nicole Dreadful's other fairy tales for adults: 1. Beauty and the Beast 2. Little Red Riding Hood 3. Tam Lin

The historical novel Carterhaugh is based on the old Scottish ballad "Tam Lin", which tells how the young, handsome Tam Lin is kidnapped by the Queen of Elves in the forest of Carterhaugh. Jane (Janet), who is expecting his child, rescues him and saves him from being sacrificed to hell. The story is usually set in the period shortly after the Norman Conquest and is about their noble families. However, the characteristics of the plot suggest to me a far earlier age. Fairies and elves date from the Celtic period, when the old Celtic gods were pushed into the background during Christianization. Such beings were then transposed and reinterpreted, and in these guises were preserved in the traditional legends and stories. Also, the mention of hell seems to me to be a Christian interpretation of the Celtic Otherworld. In addition, many well-known Scottish families have claimed the tale of Tam Lin (Lynn, Munroe, Dunbar, Douglas, Lord of Foulis), but none can be unequivocally associated with it - suggesting the story is much older.The ballad ends with Jane winning Tam Lin, but what happened after that, and what was the background? Who was Tam Lin really? Who was the Elf Queen, and who were the people of Carterhaugh? I try to offer an answer set at the end of the ninth century, when the kingdom of the Celtic Gododdin, formerly conquered and suppressed by the Germanic Anglo-Saxons, was liberated by the Scottish troops and annexed to the Kingdom of Scotland (then called Alba).In addition, I have added a Welsh language pronunciation, as it is likely that it was quite similar to the Gododdin language at the time.
