This is a wonderful blend of a technique which is fable-like yet concerns universal issues, which stands out due to its technical individuality. Furthermore, it has a very strong yet humble girl-protagonist, Primrose who retains a certain "muchness" of Alice. Although it did retain the innocence necessary in a Children's book, it also had some modern terms. It also played interestingly with the names and their character significance.
