The book is a unique work that combines Richard Wagner's operatic themes with E. F. Benson's storytelling. Richard Wagner's influence is evident throughout the text, particularly his operas "Die Walküre" (part of the Ring Cycle) and its themes of myth and drama. The story intertwines these elements with Benson's own narrative style, creating a rich tapestry that blends music and literature.The plot revolves around the mythical Valkyries, supernatural beings from Norse mythology who are central figures in Wagner's operas. The narrative delves into their legendary role and explores their interactions with the human world. Benson's storytelling provides context and depth to Wagner's themes, weaving together elements of myth, drama, and the supernatural.
