Couperus offers a new and very different story. It's heavy on the symbolism - but still a very good tale. Psyche is the youngest of the three daughters of the old king, monarch of the Kingdom of the Past. Unlike her sisters, Psyche is not certain of what her role in the world is. They have specific ambitions, but she only has vague dreams. She is eager for adventure - for anything, really, as long as it is beyond the stifling confines of the Kingdom of the Past. Once her father has died she becomes even more desperate to experience something away from this place... Will she find happyness?

Psyche is a remarkable sustained fairy tale. Couperus creates a convincing fantasy world, and despite the occasionally heavy-handed symbolism it is a wonderful, magical realm.
The rich writing works well for this story: it is, undoubtedly, overwrought, but with this material that seems only appropriate.
Psyche is a charming and often even exciting tale.
