Notes :
- The Introduction by James R. Baker has a very clear explanation of the archetypal characters, symbolism, and mythological sources of the story. I recommend this Casebook Edition also for the additional 100 pages of interviews and essays that provide further details on the topics raised in Baker's Introduction.
