Claudia is a vivid anti-type of a "princess," though she must sometimes play that role. Fisher alternates chapters between the two young people, and readers know they will eventually meet. Meanwhile, Claudia lives on the Outside, but her country-house world is also an invention of an earlier ruler, King Endor, who decided to stop time.
