Today’s October tale is based on Child Ballad 39, “Tam Lin,” the story of a mortal knight captured by the fairy queen and doomed to be tithed to Hell on Halloween unless his true love can hold him through a series of fearsome transformations. Fairport Convention’s recording is the classic, of course, with Sandy Denny’s amazing voice spinning the story.
