Mischka's Tale is the story not only of the adventures of a singer
named Mischka and of his life in the land of Thallhiar, but of the
power of love, of truth and of music to change the world. The story
begins in the rough northern hills, where Mischka's father is a
shepherd and his mother a weaver of coarse cloth. But even in these
difficult circumstances, Mischka and his siblings are drawn into a
love of music, fostered by a wandering harpist who visits their
holding, strengthened in the songs they sing together. Music
becomes his livelihood and more: it is the center of his life,
shared with his wife and children and with a world that is enriched
by the music he creates. It is a force of nature and a force in
nature, both beautiful and terrible. In this world, music is a
power that can wound and that can heal, that can protect and that
can destroy. In this world, life is not simple, however beautiful
it may be. Love for his wife, Ferenth, for his family and his
friends, for the world in which he lives is the well-spring of
Mischka's music. But his love for Ferenth drives Mischka to the
vale of the wraiths when she dies. Nature is a living force,
visible in the terrible storm that shipwrecks Mischka, in the
Beisht uses the power of its voice to turn to stone anyone who
cannot answer its questions. It is the world of the Lady, creator
and sustainer, at once deeply known and forever veiled.. The world
of Mischka's Tale is not our own. But it is a world in which we may
see our own, including those dimensions of meaning and mystery of
which we are not always aware.
