The book tells a story about a young girl who gets caught up in a fantasy adventure, not of her choosing. During her journey she meets a number of different characters including a talking horse, which teaches her the futility of life's so called important lessons of the adult world. But as she enters this silly place, she does learn also about the important parts of life such as grief and distress, happiness and pleasure, joy and pain and above all the loneliness of going it alone.

The book is divided up into chapters which give a reading length of about 10 minutes, for night time reading and each chapter is an adventure of its own and ends at a point where the child looks forward to the next reading.

Much of the book is satirically political and was written at a time when the author was in total despair of its politicians. This despair has of course deepened over the years. Once the adult has solved the clue, which is not a difficult one and is in the title of the Land where the adventure takes place, much of the satire falls into place.
