Tam Lin has been used as the base for children's fiction by Diana Wynne Jones - Fire and Hemlock - and Catherine Storr, whose title I can't remember, but may have had Thursday in it. Storr's was quite psychological and not so magical. Wynne Jones was much closer to the source.
Only relevant in that they cast light on how changing outlooks change interpretations.
