I have not read the original ballad upon which Tam Lin is based, so I cannot speak to the authenticity of this retelling. That being said, I found Cooper's prose lovely—well written, and immensely engaging—just as I did with another of her picture book folktale retellings, The Selkie Girl, which was likewise illustrated by Warwick Hutton. Unfortunately, much as in that other book, I wasn't as impressed with the illustrations as I was with the text. Hutton is someone whose work I have encountered a number of times, given my interest in folklore and mythology, and the fact that his picture books tend to fall into those categories, and I always find his illustrations interesting, engaging even, but they are never quite to my taste, aesthetically speaking. Still, tastes vary, so those who enjoy his artwork might find this one a very winsome read. For my part, although I do recommend this one to young folk and fairy-tale enthusiasts, I prefer the artwork of Charles Mikolaycak, in Jane Yolen's Tam Lin: An Old Ballad, or of Philip Logan, in Lari Don's The Tale of Tam Linn.
