[Reading] Thomas the Rhymer - Ellen Kushner

[white_hart]

I enjoyed this retelling of one of my favourite ballads, and I thought the framing narratives around Tom's own narrative of his time in Elfland (before and after, from an elderly couple to whom he becomes something like a son, and the woman he marries after returning) added interesting context to the familiar story. Although I have been earwormed by the Steeleye Span version of the ballad for the whole time I was reading the book.
