From: Adam Stephanides 

So Wolfe is a Kai Lung fan.  I had no idea.

I've seen the "princess on a glass mountain" motif twice before: in a novel
called THE GLASS MOUNTAIN by Leonard Wolf, which I haven't read, and in a
Fractured Fairy Tale (in which the rescuer was a giant frog).  Given this,
I'd expect that it occurs in some genuine fairy tale or medieval romance,
but nothing comes to mind.

Like hartshorn, I didn't see any hidden depths to the story, at least on
first reading.
