Tam Lin: Fairy Tales #2 (Fairy Tales) 105 reviews
Pamela Dean
Tor Books, 1992
Possibly my favorite book ever.
+ all time favorite book of a lifetime
This is probably my favorite book. It is in fact the second time I have read it, but it's still amazingly awesome. It's a retelling of the Tam Lin ballads from Scotland, set in a college in the 1970's and populated by incredibly bright people who quote Shakespeare and Keats in regular conversation ...

Hanna Lutzen
Groundwood Books, 2001
Neo-gothic craftsmanship
+ Very Original Take on a Classic Tale!
Ahh yes. A vampire novel. But don't cringe yet. For those readers who enjoy good old-fashioned nineteenth century gothic novels, this slim book may be an undiscovered treat. Written for the young adult reader (but not exclusive) Lutzen's first book is a welcome contribution to vampire lore. If ...

Carrie1 review
Stephen King
Pocket, 2005
Don't just watch the movie - READ A BOOK
As with most, this book is hugely better than the movie. Although the movie is quite good. Carrie's inner voice is creepy, her Mom is downright frightening and the girls at school are the Original mean girls. It's a short, great book.

My children and I did not merely "read" this book; we have "encountered" it several times...This book has become a friend who brings us back to a settled inner soul, grounding us in the connection to nature, to nurturing, to words softly flowing to inner peace shutting out the exterior voices of ...
