Janet is not allowed to visit the forests near her father's castle, because tradition says that once, a local boy named Tam Lin was abducted by the fairy queen and never returned. But Janet is not afraid of fairy tales... Deep in the forest, near a well, she meets a fairy knight -- the famous Tam Lin, who is forbidden to leave due to the evil magic of the queen. Janet decides to save him, but when the queen and her army appear, the fairy magic transforms Tam Lin into a host of Scottish creatures. Can Janet hold on long enough to free him? A clever and dynamic retelling of the traditional Scottish story of Tam Lin, adapted for a young audience. Award-winning author Larry Don offers a new perspective on this well-known story, perfectly complemented by the stunning illustrations of artist Philip Longson. The Tale of Tam Lin is one of the first titles released in the new Picture Kelpies series: Traditional Scottish Tales, bringing classic Scottish folklore and tales to life for young readers.
