The use of a male fairy godmother as the discriminator of all knowledge and wisdom was a comical devise, but it worked. I prefer the mystical approach in business books because they don't try to make it sound TOO realistic. We all know the situation is contrived to maximize the ability to tell a lesson, so we might has well have a laugh at the same time. That being said the information is simple and useful. The examples were clear (if a little exaggerated) and memorable. The concepts behind them didn't stick as well as the examples, but its a short enough read that it wouldn't hurt to skim the book for a refresher.
