Las dos primeras partes examinan la relación literaria y editorial con el texto fuente, y la epístola inicial de Howard. Las partes finales se centran en la historia principal y los quince cuentos moralizantes. Especial atención merecen los temas de género/feministas en la novedosa extensión de la historia marco, y los motivos de cuentos populares presentes en esta colección, estilística y temáticamente ideada para ayudar al público más joven a mejorar su competencia lectoraProyecto de investigación: "Early Novel in English, 1660-1700: Database and Textual Editing" (ENEID), MINECO Ref.
