Marlowe's prose is both lyrical and accessible, reflecting the early 20th century's penchant for character-driven storytelling while navigating a landscape rich with symbolism and moral undertones. The book sits within the tradition of children'Äôs literature that emphasizes moral lessons and the importance of community and individuality amid the constraints of societal expectations.
