I have previously read the first and second books in this anthology series, which is largely notable for being a YA anthology (something we do not have enough of).In general, I tend to have mixed reactions to anthologies, especially those with stories by a number of different authors. This was no ex...
First thoughts...cult classic? Ugh I hate cult classics be they movies or books. Case in point, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, everyone I know loved it. Me? I found it stupid as hell and couldn't even sit through the whole thing. I do like books of Faery so I thought I'd give Tam Lin a try. Jane...
Wow this book was annoying. First, Janet was a pretentious, insufferable, snobby, know-it-all. I found it impossible to relate to her and hard to believe that she had any friends at all considering how she treated everyone. Every page had her saying something “acidly” or “sharply” or stating how ...
I’m making it one of my minor missions in life to read all of the versions of Tam Lin I can get ahold of.

But I meant "boring" the way my kids mean when, in the middle of the summer doldrums of popsicles, long slow evenings, and dirt-black feet from running barefoot, t...
The conclusion to 'The Secret Country' trilogy is satisfying, but seems to lack the easy magic of the first installment. What I had enjoyed most about 'The Secret Country' had been the natural way Patrick, Ted, Ellen, Ruth and Lucy had talked and bickered with each other, along with the indignation ...
This was an incredibly anticipated book for me, 'The Secret Country' had been one of the great lost favorites of my childhood and I was finally going to be able to finish the story.The big flaw with this book is its repetition, apparently 'The Hidden Land' and 'The Secret Country' were intended as a...
