Morpurgo cleverly manages to avoid a feeling of haste in his writing (although the book was actually written very quickly, and as a reaction to Morpurgo's own experiences as co-founder of Farms for City Children), by giving the listener a thorough and poignant insight into what it is really like for farmers waiting to find out if they are about to lose their livelihoods.
