The novel, Banner in the Sky (HarperCollins Children’s Books, 1988) by James Ramsey Ullman (1907-71) is an excellent example of a bibliotherapeutic experience. It has been a classic of adolescence since it was first published in 1954. The locale, an Alpine village, stirs the imagination while the objective of the mountain climbers, the Citadel, captures the soul of the reader. This imaginative focus creates an inspirational vision which proclaims that risk-taking is the essential ingredient in the search for excellence. At the end of the novel, Rudi Matt, the main protagonist, chooses to rescue a fellow mountain climber instead of merely being the conqueror of this elusive mountain, the Citadel. This outcome demonstrates the novel’s character development; the hero is seeking not only to conquer the mountain itself, but command over his inner psyche as well. Courage is linked to compassion. (This book was also made into a movie called Third Man on the Mountain by Walt Disney Productions, 1959.) “I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land….” Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. (a)
