Read World and Thorinn Storyline:

Young Thorinn is cast into a well as a sacrifice to appease an angry god by his simple-minded stepfather. But Thorinn doesn't perish there. Digging his way out into a cavern beneath the well, Thorinn explores the underworld in his almost fairytale-like quest to return to the surface. He finds numerous caverns, some populated by creatures both friendly and treacherous. Thorinn must survive by his own ingenuity, resourcefulness, and courage, and the reader gradually learns with him the true nature of the fascinating world Knight so deftly reveals.--R. ChristensonA fix-up, based on "The World and Thorinn", Galaxy, April 1968; "The Garden of Ease", Galaxy, June 1968; and "The Star Below", Galaxy, August 1968.
