Has not aged well

While I have read and loved the little princess and forgiven any classism a and imperialists because of the time it was written in , I find that the list prince does not carry enough enduring qualities to remain a book lived and still read.

It is the story of a boy and later his best friend, who , along with his father want to free a small European country from a cruel despot. And science this was written before WWI the way they want to do so is to restore the rightful king to his throne.

There is much talk of patriotism and being soldiers and being of the upper class though now poor. And because I could never really care I couldn't feel much tension. The protagonist gets endanger perhaps twice.

So if you love the little princess don't pick this up thinking this might be the male version of this. Read the secret garden instead. .
