Wick's picture-puzzle narrative is based on the familiar folktale "In a Dark, Dark Wood." Just as the tale progresses from outside in, each double-page spread zooms in closer and closer, moving from town to castle to stairway and so on. Readers are challenged to find items in Wick's carefully composed scenes: e.g., bats, a spiderweb, a coffin, and skulls.
