		The story of Tam Lin is one of the better known ones to escape folklore for the fringes of the mainstream; you'll find references scuttling about everywhere from old Fairport Convention discs to Christopher Stasheff novels.
		The author's first conceit, and it is a large one, is to lift the story of Tam Lin out of 16th-century Scotland and plunk it down on the campus of a midwestern liberal arts college in the early Seventies.
		Tam Lin may be of notable length as a ballad, but that's a far cry from 450 pages of single- spaced fiction.

		An early part of Terri Windling's Fairy Tale series, Tam Lin is by far the most ambitious project on the line.
		But it is dense, and those who approach Tam Lin without a solid grounding in various flavors of Classics and Lit studies are liable to find themselves lost in a Sargasso of Shakespeare quotes, lit crit references and other bits of academic minutiae of scant interest to the casual reader.
		Tam Lin, like a demanding professor (of the non-Faerie sort) rewards effort even as it discourages those who would think it enough merely to show up for the reading.
