English Fairy Tales, XXI. Childe Rowland., sentence 26
The play has besides this the themes of the Thankful Dead, the Three Heads of the Well (which see), the Life Index, and a transformation, so that it is not to be wondered at if some of the traits of “Childe Rowland” are observed in it.
Who acts: play, Well · What happens: have, see, not be, observe · To what, where: themes, play, some
