Notes
- A contemporary retelling of the Border ballad, set at a fictional Minnesota college in the early 1970s. Published as part of Terri Windling's shared Fairy Tale line of standalone novels by different authors, each retelling one traditional story -- this admission covers only this one novel, following this project's usual practice of registering each author's own contribution to a shared line as its own single-work universe, not the whole multi-author line as one universe.
