This is a deeply meaningful, beautifully written book. It is a complete story that stands alone. Everyone should read it.
Written in the form of a rather poetic children's book, this is on one level, the story of a child who finds a door in the a forest and steps through to another world. On another level this is a story of what identity means, and the fundamental wrongness of labeling people, dictating expected behaviour by those labels and how society inherently punishes those who do not fit expectations.
Again, this is a beautifully written fable for today. Everyone should read it.
