In Chapter 6, towards the end of the chapter, they refer to "Andersen's Well." I tried searching for an explanation but couldn't find anything. What oh what is meant by Andersen's Well??? Thank you!!!

Apparently he's talking about a fairy tale by Hans Christian Anderson. In the story a king shares his secret thoughts while speaking into a well.

I believe that Andersen's Well is actually a reference from earlier in the book. It is the “receptive, unjudging and silent” place where Ethan can go to speak his thoughts. His special place. (I'm sorry I can't give you a page number, I don't have the book in front of me..."

I guess it's a reference to a tale written by Hans Christian Andersen, he mentions the title somewhere, I can't remember now, but that's it.
