What do you think is the best kind of story, Sibeal?" Gull's deep voice was like a soft cloak, comforting and warm. "The true kind, or a tale of marvels and magic?" "A wonder tale can be truer than true," I said. I had learned, during my time in the nemetons, that the deepest kind of truth can be found in the strangest and wildest of stories. One may not meet a fire-breathing dragon on the way to the well. One may not encounter an army of toothed snakes in the woodshed. That does not make the wisdom in those tales any less real.
