Two worlds provide a setting for the story, the wild and open moor and the closed and stagnant village. Here lives Saaski, a misbegotten child, who must find her place somewhere between the two. For Saaski, the moor means freedom, a place of escape from the constricted life of the village. It calls her, incessantly, to run and climb and play her pipes on the dry meadows among the rocks. The moor intrigues her with its mysterious bogs, its wind and sun, and its fringe of ever present clouds.
