I *think* the Shadow Children - who I might not have called Shadow
People if I'd drunk slightly less wine last night - are the native
creatures of St Anne, while the 'abos' are humans.
The reasons for this are hard to summarise, but: towards the end of 'A
Story' The Old Wise One seems much clearer about who is who, and he says
of his race "Now I am half a man, and know that we were always here...
Listening without thought of our own to be men."
Sandwalker's people, he says, *came* to this world - an idea which is
also alluded to in the other two novellas.
