- About half as long as the original, per review by Kirkus (below). Entered as a novelette from that estimate and word-count 15,027 for one edition of the original.
- "though this edition is shorter by half, it is no less difficult since she has retained MacDonald's comic, ironic, but elaborate prose (pruning it skillfully, to be sure)." --Kirkus Reviews, contemporary review undated online (with later cover image and ISBN) (positive on the illustration only)
- McKinley's "adaptation" (quoting the publisher evidently); "What McKinley has done is shorten the tale, not really simplify it." --Mitzi Myers, Los Angeles Times 1988-05-22 pJ10 "Children's Books: Words of Fantasy" (extraordinarily positive on the illustration only)
- RM has "adapted it for a somewhat younger and less didactically interested audience". Ages 10 an up (from the publisher apparently) --Mary Harris Veeder, Chicago Tribune 1988-07-24 pM5 "Just for Children"
