Fable - Der Gesang des Wassers

The book is based on a popular game, but I wonder what led to the decision to expand it into a novel. Was it to explore new facets of the story or to reach a wider audience?

It made me think about the balance between adventure and heavier themes in children's literature. Did the author intend to introduce these concepts early on?

The inclusion of poetry seems like an unusual choice for a children's adventure story. I’m curious if it was meant to deepen emotional resonance or serve as a stylistic device.
