De fantasie van Gertrude Chandler Warner, gevoed door kinderdromen en een fascinatie voor treinen, leidde tot het creëren van blijvende verhalen. Haar schrijfstijl kenmerkt zich door toegankelijkheid en eenvoud, verfijnd door haar ervaring als onderwijzeres die ernaar streefde lezen plezierig te maken voor kinderen, zelfs voor degenen die Engels leerden. Warner legde meesterlijk een geest van avontuur en onafhankelijkheid vast die resoneert bij jonge lezers, waarmee ze zich vestigde als een geliefde auteur.
