This allegorical
novel is steeped in folklore and includes many symbols drawn from North
European myths and legends. Its themes include personal development, the battle
between good and evil, and death and resurrection.
The abridged version
also in this volume, has a reading age of about 9 years and up. It follows the
original story but omits much of the violence and reflection.
