The Ballad of Tam Lin oleh Kathleen McGowan

The ancient legend of the elfin knight Tam Lin and the brave young maiden who rescues him from death at the hands of the terrifying Queen of the Underworld has been told in the Scottish Borders for hundreds of years. Now, this classic Celtic tale is brought to magical, sensual life by New York Times bestselling author Kathleen McGowan. Rich in symbolism and steeped in the wisdom of the Celts, this novella is no mere fairy tale, no simplistic story of dark and light, wicked queen and maiden fair. This is a multi-layered exploration of feminine power in all of its aspects, with some unexpected twists. The first in Kathleen McGowan’s new series, Legends of the Divine Feminine, a non-fiction analysis of the ballad, its origins, and its exquisite preservation of ancient wisdom teachings follows the fiction, along with the author’s notes on her years of research into the story and locations.
