Lady Jain runs away in the middle of the night to try to find Castle Waiting -- a place of safety and refuge for any who finds it. She is pregnant and gives birth shortly after finding the Castle. The Castle has only a few people living in it -- a cook and her simple son Simon, the steward who is also a stork, three ladies-in-waiting who have retired, a blacksmith who has no emotions, and a knight who is also a horse. There are also lots of fairies, sprites, brownies, etc. Overall, this was a strange story that seemed to more for kids than for adults.
