Tam Lin
Author: Pamela Dean
Genre: Science Fiction & Fantasy
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


Thus far, my favorite work of Dean's. A must for theatre and lit majors - I chuckled most of the way through - some of the characters bore a curious resemblance to people in my undergrad classes in the 70s! The connection to the Child ballad is wonderfully reimagined, and I loved the fact that a few characters bore names of actual players from Shakespeare's time.
