Hilda and the Mountain King

Hilda's world feels both playful and tense at times. I'm curious how the tone was crafted to keep young readers engaged without overwhelming them.

Her willingness to explore and face the unknown really stood out to me. I wonder if this is inspired by childhood adventures or a personal philosophy.

The world-building feels so rich and imaginative. I'm interested in whether the author drew from folklore, personal experiences, or pure invention.
