• タム・リンの伝説を元にした物語

  美人で考えなしの妹が出した手紙が元で、ケイトは不思議な言い伝えのある場所に送られる． そこは地下に妖精達が住む場所で、彼らは時に人間の生け贄を必要とするのだ。クリストファーがこの生け贄として地下に下った時、目撃したケイトも地の国へ行くことになる。 ケイトはここでのつらい生活を耐える。また閉じ込められて絶望に追いやられていたクリスを見つけ出し、気持ちを引き立てるべく夜な夜な会話を続ける． 生け贄の夜、死の淵にいる彼を引き戻したのは、元のタムリン伝説のように、ケイトが彼の手を離さなかったということではなかった。 ケイトがケイトらしい物言いをした時、それがクリスの心に届き幻惑が解けるのだ タムリン伝説の要が真の愛情を試されることにあるとしたら、この物語では、試しの時の前にそれが相手の心に届くほどのものであったかどうか、ということになるのだろうか． 冬の薔薇 (創元推理文庫) 九年目の魔法 (創元推理文庫)

• The book was in great condition, thank you! I'd been reminded of this book recently, and was so happy to find I could still get a copy -- it's even better than I remember. Wonderfully magical and creepy. Shipping was faster than I expected as well. Thanks!!

• Elizabeth Pope was one of my favorite professors... a lovely human being with a childlike enthusiasm and a true scholar's depth. I discovered this book only recently and wish she was still living so I could write to her. I recognized in it so many themes she introduced me to long ago when I had the good fortune to sit enthralled in her mythology class and her Shakespeare sessions. Dr. Pope, you gave me things that have resonated my whole life long. Thank you.

• Most of the reviewers have described the story so I will move onto the book itself. Elizabeth Marie Pope was an english literature professor who apparently wrote both Perilous Gard and the Sherwood Ring to demonstrate different writing styles to her students. She is such a brilliant author that I wish she had written dozens of books! This book is so chilling and sinister in its plot implications, so magnificent is the craftsmanship and the characters are so beautifully fleshed out with each nuance delicately explored that one is utterly enraptured. The Fairy Queen is one of the most terrifying personalities and the twists in the plot are such that one is genuinely unsure of what will happen next. To sustain the reader’s tension at fever pitch is shattering to one’s nerves :) but a fabulous demonstration of how gifted Pope was. The book is deliciously satisfying and fulfils one’s expectations since it keeps delivering right until the very last page. A must read for anyone who adores reading. Both her books will become among your most prized books

• Thoroughly under-rated and under-acknowledged book. A fab twist on the Tam Lin story with a super heroine, a sweet romance and suitably dark and scary fae. Don't let the "children's book" classification scare you off - this is a fab read no matter what your age.

• Already received it, way before the date it was suppose to arrived. I am very satisfied.
