Scott Kellar´s binding of ´Journey of Thomas the Rhymer´

The Old Stile Press 2000
number 104 of 220

In this medieval legend Thomas´ journey with a fairy queen takes him through many wonders to arrive at her castle where he spends seven years with the fairy folk. Hastening away when the Devil approaches, he returns to back to ´Middle Earth´, now speaking only the truth and in rhyme. In my version, the fairy queen creates this stained glass window in her castle to remember him by.
