I have read books by Barbara Constantine and I did not notice that this time it is a children's book. I think the children of ten years should revel in this book. History very cute and delectable anecdotes (no contest swear words in red thread throughout the book that enlivens much). Ultimately not disappointed with my play but I do not recommend it to adult readers. For my part, I will try to find a young reader interested in the discovery of this book.
