In Elric's superstitious feudal village, people think children born with disabilities--like Elric's younger sister, Wynn--are changelings. After their mother dies, Elric and Wynn journey through the forest in search of a peaceful place to live; Wynn insists that clues in their mother's song will lead them to fairyland. As much a thoughtful study of human care and relationships as it is a fairy tale.
