This week's episode - Tamlane, is a tale from the Scottish Borders. A rural region of Scotland that runs along the border of Scotland and england.

Our version is adapted from the book:
Wonder Tales from Many Lands
Written and illustrated by Katherine Pyle - First published August 1920

The fair maiden Janet hears the call from a fairy horn that no one else has heard. It is the call of Tamlane who has been imprisoned by fairies.

Tamlane explains his predicament to Janet and she agrees to help him and becomes the heroine of the story.

She holds on tight to Tamlane as he shape shifts from man to raging  wolf, to blazing fire and eventually to a wild flapping swan.

Janet is determined and brave and does not let go until he is freed.

Hold on tight to what you know is right and don't always trust your eyes over your heart!
