Review Quotes: "Set in the present but rooted in two romantic British ballads--'Thomas the Rhymer' and 'Tam Lin'--the novel examines the nature of heroism and love. . . . The inventive author skillfully orchestrates the stories--the ballads, adventures, and real life-- into a reverberant composition."--The Horn Book
"An intricate romantic fantasy . . . Finely crafted, highly recommended."--Fantasy Review "I love Diana Wynne Jones."--Robin McKinley "She has a unique record of producing books you can't forget! Every book is different. And every book is likely to be in someone's top seven! I feel we need to acknowledge how lucky those of us are who grew up on her books, and to ensure subsequent generations enjoy the same intense and subtle pleasure."--The Guardian "Diana Wynne Jones is truly a treasure, and every one of her stories is to be cherished."--The SF Site
