Speaking of Tam Lin, I also really enjoyed Pamela
Dean's more recent (and very similar) story, "Juniper,
Gentian, and Rosemary". Has anyone else read it? What
did you think? One thing that I thought would have
been helpful was a version of the associated ballad
for the book. I've still never found a copy of it.
Does anyone know the story, or where I can find it?
