With a somewhat mysterious and fantastical background, he struggles to fit into human society while being pursued by a sinister force. As he embarks on a quest to uncover his true identity, he grapples with themes of acceptance, transformation, and the nature of humanity. The novel combines elements of whimsy and darkness, showcasing Pullman's signature storytelling style and rich character development in a unique fairy-tale setting.
