Esty, you will link to this in Music Reviews, won't you?

I have three copies of this book. The earlier copies (ebay) don't have the last two songs you list, and once I discovered that I paid normal price for the volume you have. (Don't you love that it comes with a CD?)

The book(s) are lovely, even the older ones (with the rather tacky cover designs) but I wanted several copies in case I ever got to have a sing-along.

I think "THe Willow-Meads of Tasarinen" is the best in terms of interpretation. I admire you that you can handle the piano score for these songs!) The piano score for that one seems appropriately Entish to me-- rumbly, heavy, swaying a little.
