When I first read this book -- after having read Mr Hansen's previous major work -- "The Chess Garden" -- I said "This is a book for people who didn't know how to enjoy the magic of Chess Garden." And I realized, after finishing it -- it also teaches them how to do that. If you enjoy things magical to begin with, it's a true delight -- a by-the-book early Freudian Therapist using hypnosis, loving music but not understanding why, unable to understand the dreams of the young woman as a form of reality... brilliant and fun.
