a| The story centres on the development from child to adult and the struggle with life's riddles. The story is not just a fairy tale. It involves the following elements: the stages of human life; contrasts (good/evil, idealism/materialism); the diminutive motif; criticism of human society; the search for happiness; positivism and pantheism.

a| Together with Godfried Bomans' Erik or the little insect book, it was on the literature list of secondary schools in Belgium for many years. In the Netherlands, too, it is a widely read book that can be found on the reading lists of many secondary school teachers and schools.
