In 1958, the book also received the Lewis Carroll Shelf Award in the USA and in 1959, the author received the American Regina Medal for his entire work.
E. Farjeon's stories are characterized by the intertwining of reality and fantasy and a high moral goal; the keywords of his work can be considered joy and goodness.
