This is an allegorical tale aimed primarily at young readers, showing that true happiness comes from within, and that it is only through searching and seeking the truth that happiness and place come together to find meaning

Ravens are astute birds; very intelligent, inquisitive and communicative. They are the largest in size of the Crow family and so the strongest, but what makes them really different from other Crows is that they can reason. They can make informed decisions. They have a complicated language, and can even learn the languages of other birds. At least Piran, our adventurous youngster can - but he is not born yet.
