Synopsis: "Maris, the heroine of Knee Deep in Thunder (1967), returns to the Great Land, where she has been summoned for the vague purpose of helping Them combat a second rising of the Beasts. Once more an assorted human and animal fellowship undertakes an elaborate pilgrimage ... Much was made of the metaphysics in Miss Moon's first novel; here the emphasis is on social responsibility ... For those who are turned on by allegorical quests through fantastic lands, this one is imaginative and intricately developed." --KirkusReviews.com
