“When I first saw a copy of Gwendolyn's Quest: A Psychological Fable, I was immediately drawn to it's beautiful, wispy cover. Reading the fable, I found myself accompanying Gwendolyn as she left the patriarchy and struck out to find her own feminine way in the world. As Gwendolyn navigates new lands and challenges, she encounters many twists and turns, and yet she doesn't lose her motivation to find her Prince.
“As the commentary begins, Robin clarifies the details of Gwendolyn's consciousness. Gwen's symbols and dreams emerge, dissolve, and connect deeply, adding depth to her feminine journey. The lovely illustrations weaving their way with Gwendolyn's journey offer additional windows into her psychic life. Throughout the fable, dreams, symbols and words, tethered together with grace, offer soft reminders of ourselves as we navigate our own lives.”
