Barfield’s last work of fiction illustrates how the destruction of our environment corresponds with divorcing ourselves from meaning and the significance of language. The evolution of human consciousness is also a theme as the protagonist Virginia (Vi) searches for meaning and grows more self-aware. Because of her increased understanding about language, meaning, and nature, Vi joins an environmental group and writes a fairy tale that allegorizes her experiences and can serve as a call to readers to take action as well.
