Since you've been posting all these Tam Lin adaptions that you come across, do you have a personal favorite and least favorite out of all the ones you've found? Love what you do, keep up the good work!
Aww, thanks! I really don’t have a favorite retelling or interpretation, and readers taste vary so much I’d be hesitant to recommend for anyone else. I mostly just love the way that so many authors have found ways to tell aspects and parts of the tale, like seeing what blooms in a big garden.
As for least favorite- I have strong opinions about a lot of stuff, but I generally won’t slam specific authors in public (though I’ll complain at length about general trends). I figure there’s always a chance that a version I hate is the one someone else loves. I may warn for content that is unusually disturbing, if I feel it’s warranted.
I suspect that for a lot of folks who collect things, after a certain point it becomes less about the value of the coins and more about the feeling of rolling about in your horde.
