Good taste! I love her books, too. Tam Lin is one of my favorite books of all time, and a real impetus in the writing of my second book, The Wild Swans, although by the time I had finished writing it, Terri Windling had ceased editing the Tor fairytales series and so I sold it to Warner instead. I had the very great pleasure of being in a Shakespeare reading group with Pamela for several years--she lives pretty close to me.
I mention Pamela in the afterward of The Wild Swans, because it was in her kitchen (at a Shakespeare reading meeting, actually) when she made the crucial comment that made that book's double strand structure all bloom inside my imagination.
You like Pamela Dean's writing, too?

And yes, she blurbed it.
Thanks for commenting.
