    Extractions: Children transported to a fantasy realm. That's not a new theme, dating at least back to C.S. Lewis, and perhaps to Lewis Carroll. In The Secret Country , the realm is the one that they have played for several years, between two sets of cousins. The problem is, everything isn't quite as they imagined it. Or, rather, not as any one of them imagined itmore of a consensus, so that what one of them may find familiar, the other will find utterly wrong. And even with that allowed for, there are still things they never came up with themselves. The plot, however, they find all too familiar. The King, too skeptical about the existence and efficacy of magic, refuses to listen to his advisors that advocate its use against a foreseeable attack by the Dragon King. In the game they played every summer, the King was killed by one of his advisors, and then the advisor was sentenced to death by the King's son. That was fine for a game...but now they have to live it. So they try to change things, as much as possible, only to find themselves countered by a mysterious force... The book starts a little slowlyfirst they have to find the Secret Country (quite by accident), and then they have to go through a rigmarole of making sure that they're not missed in the real world while they spend weeks in the Secret Country. And even then, it's a while before things really build up.

"I hate Hermann Hesse," she said, wheeling around, "but the rest of these are my very favorites." "They're mine," said Janet, beaming at her. "So you're Janet. Can you really read Hesse?" "My best friend likes him," said Janet, "and he's very intense." "I thought he was boring," said Molly, "but never mind. What have you got in here?"

    http://www.rambles.net/dean_juniper.html
    
    Extractions: In her latest novel, Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary , Pamela Dean offers a story inspired by a traditional ballad, a familiar and fascinating blend of lyrical writing spiced with literary references and a perceptive glimpse into everyday life touched with mystery and magic. Juniper Meriweather is 16, sarcastic, and an excellent cook. Rosemary is 11, sweet, and a Girl Scout. In the middle is Gentian, 13, an aspiring astronomer. The family, complete with two educated, middle-class parents and a slew of cats, lives in a three-story Victorian home in Minnesota. Most important to Gentian are the nights of star-gazing in her unheated dome; parties and sleepovers with The Giant Ants, a tightly knit group of girlfriends; her cat Maria Mitchell, named for the first woman astronomer; and sneak peeks into her sister Juniper's diary. At the beginning of the school year, an ugly, modern, one-story red house springs up on the vacant lot where Gentian's family and the neighboring Zimmermans used to grow vegetables. To Gentian, the house appears practically overnight, while to others, months pass before it's finished. Immaculately and invisibly maintained, its only occupants appear to be Dominic Hardy, a handsome, mysterious boy who speaks in riddles and quotations, and his nondescript mother. Soon after the odd boy's arrival, Gentian's telescope develops a strange quirk; sometimes it shows her the heavens, as it should, but sometimes, impossibly, it shows Dominic's house. Dominic approaches the sisters for help; he wants to build a time machine in Gentian's attic. Naturally curious, the girls agree. Then, to Gentian's annoyance, he drops the subject. Although her life continues as usual, Gentian's thoughts become increasingly tangled up in the riddle of who Dominic really is, which sister he's truly interested in and her misbehaving telescope. Finally, just as the holidays are over and school is about to start, Dominic is ready to build his time machine.

    Extractions: Tam Lin , Pamela Dean's inspired retelling of the Scottish ballad, gets my vote for the most inventive of Terri Windling's Fairy Tale Series. It's not that Dean's version is more imaginative or better written than the novels by Dalkey, de Lint, Wrede and Brust; it's just that ... well, for most of the novel, you don't even realize there's a fairy tale lurking behind the story at all. In fact, there are places where you wonder what the story is, fairy tale or no fairy tale. Despite that confusion, Dean has written a truly absorbing tale. Tam Lin is the story of Janet, a freshman at Blackstock College, and her two roommates, not to mention the ups and downs associated with juggling classes, friendships, extracurricular activities and love. Although Janet's father has taught at Blackstock for twenty-two years, Janet soon discovers all sorts of strange rumors and traditions there, most of which center around the ghost that haunts the fourth floor of Erickson and Professor Medeous, head of the classics department. Janet's life becomes even more confusing when she gets caught up with Robin, Nick, Thomas and the rest of the theatre/classics department, which results in an ending full of magic and strength. Dean's pacing is hard to figure out; at times I wasn't sure whether I was reading a day-by-day account of Janet's college life or a heavily disguised study guide for my English Lit. comps. However, the story effortlessly wrapped me up; I felt myself commiserating with Janet over her roommate problems and her inability to remember key events about the Erickson ghost. At times, the novel and its events became so universal that I forgot that Dean's characters inhabit a college campus in the 1970s. Speaking of characters, Janet, Molly and Tina are all believable and unique, although I found myself sometimes questioning Janet's decidedly eclectic knowledge of English literature.

    Extractions: Pamela Dean, Tam Lin (Tor Books, 1991) It's been said that there are only seven (or nine, or thirteen, depending on whom you ask) original plots out there, and that everything else is just variations on a theme. If one takes that notion to heart, then no narrative can be seen as truly original; every song and story is merely a reworking of a tale that's already been told a thousand times before. Such over generalizations are hard to disprove precisely because they are so broad yes, an awful lot of stories can be seen as descendants of boy-meets-girl (or boy-meets-boy, or girl-meets-dragon, or whatever other variations might appeal to a given author) but that's a rough sort of relation to make, and it doesn't say much other than the fact that human beings have a limited range of experience to write about. Tain and Remscela ) have worked rather better. And then there are those efforts that are more than simple retellings of old, old tales - they are freshly imagined renditions that incur a whole new set of risks in their conception. Not every old story lends itself to a new guise, and not every modern setting is appropriate for a reworking of a traditional or ancient narrative. For every success, there are a dozen failures littering remainder bins and library shelves. Which brings us to one of the more recent attempts to update a classic narrative: Pamela Dean's massively detailed and lovingly crafted version of Tam Lin (see footnote).

    Extractions: Epiphyte Book Review up to review index Pamela Dean's latest novel is a witty but disorienting fantasy set in 1993 Minneapolis. Juniper, Gentian, and Rosemary are three sisters, aged 16, 13, and 11 respectively, who live with their parents in a glorious Victorian house. The viewpoint character is Gentian, who is a meticulous and devoted astronomer. When a new house springs up impossibly quickly in the vacant lot next door, Gentian is considerably irritated and fascinated: It's squat, it's squalid, and it's inexplicably blocking her telescope's line-of-sight from her attic room. She is even more irritated and fascinated by her new neighbor, Dominic Hardy. Dominic is young, handsome, and manipulative; he speaks solely in riddles and quotations; and he wants to build a time machine in Gentian's attic. Like Dean's Tam Lin and her Secret Country trilogy, both the dialogue and the narration are awash with literary reference. Every page is full of allusions to Shakespeare and science fiction, Psammeads and sonnets. This is a book for people who love books; if you dislike this sort of thing, you may find it overly precious. Gentian and her circle of friends are all in the throes of puberty, and much of the book centers on the very serious pursuits of adolescence: philosophy, identity, and Boys. Dean does a wonderful job of weaving their shared history out of in-jokes, catchphrases, and the unexpected joys of dangling participles. She also splendidly portrays the infighting and rivalry among the three sisters. (I do think she fails to sufficiently depict the shining moral superiority of the eldest sister, but as the eldest of three myself, I might be ever so slightly biased.)

    Extractions: web hosting domain names email addresses related sites Tamlin (some x,some v) Introduction Sorry, no data yet. Fantasy Tamlin is a delightful retelling of the fairy tale about the youth who was taken by the fairy queen and given as tribute to hell. Only the pure love and determination of a maiden could save him from his fate. This time, however, the youth Thomas and the maiden Janet are college students in the 70's, the fairy queen is a professor, and nothing is at all what it seems as Janet finds college to be a bit more exciting than she bargained for. The story is well told and has very few of those disjointed spots that plague so many adaptations. The setting of the college and the realism of the secondary characters help ground the plot and make the tale even more delightful. Though the timing is a bit skewed and seems to mostly skip over Janet's sophomore and junior years, that does not generally detract from the story as a whole. This novel is certainly worth reading if you enjoy college stories or urban fantasy. Main Page Categories Awards

    Extractions: Tor, 1991 This is one of those books that, having finished, I immediately want to turn back to page 1. And yet I am not sure that it is a 'good' book. The pacing is peculiar: while there are plenty of suggestions of magic, the magical elements take a very long time to reveal themselves for what they are. The 'right' romance takes years to blossom, too. Tam Lin The Romance of the Rose from the restricted shelves in the college library. As in , the magical is explained away: when someone comments on the fact that the mysterious Halloween riders seemed to be glowing in the dark, someone else remarks rather sharply that there are such things as chemistry majors. , which is no bad thing to come from a novel).
