Editor's Note

At first, the winged helmet—a symbol of divinity and power in Norse, Greek, and Roman mythology—might seem jarring, somewhat foreign within the world of The Gods Must Be Crazy (Rrapula). Yet doesn’t the child command the space he occupies? Let your eyes adjust, and you may see that divine power is not a distant thing, but that it belongs here.
