Often called the first Scottish folktale, the romantic story of the handsome Tam Lin and his lover Janet has captivated audiences for centuries. The original broadside ballads might disagree about some of the details, but the essentials remain the same, including Janet's heroic role in the tale. Join us this week as we look at things from both Tam and Janet's viewpoints and discuss the perennial perils of fairyland.
