About This Book

An allegorical fantasy adapted from a Scottish folktale that explores the psychology of faith through personified figures. In a luminous, otherworldly isle, symbolic characters such as Faith, Hope, Love, Truth, Fear, and a central youthful figure interact in dreamlike scenes and parable-like episodes, assembling a ship and confronting inner needs, duty, and desire. Through lyrical description and theatrical encounters the narrative traces efforts to protect and recover Joy for humanity, using folklore motifs and moral conversation to examine how belief, perseverance, obedience, and constancy shape the search for spiritual and emotional fulfillment.
