Review by Katja: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28347472-le-petit-duc Classic nineteenth century story of Richard the Fearless, ancestor of William the Conqueror and son of Duke William Longsword (not of William the Conqueror as the blurb inaccurately says). Longsword is treacherous slain while Richard is only 8 years old, but he survives and eventually regains his ducal rights. I liked the story very much as a child but do not remember details now. This has been one of the kids favorite historical fiction selections this year. The struggles of a little boy to be a good leader in the absence of his father and amidst political turmoil were definitely an intriguing story. I think they identified with him in many ways as a child trying hard to do what is right and to be kind to those who treat you poorly. I enjoyed the richness of the story and loved that the children begged me to read more but it seemed long winded sometimes. Despite that we enjoyed this book thoroughly. Engaging fictionarlized tale of young Richard, Duke of Normandy, also known as the great-grandfather of William the Conqueror, who assumes the throne as a child on the death of his father. He learns what it is to be a duke, meaning he learns to be chivalrous, to defend the weak and control his temper, to take his responsibilities seriously, to be devout and dutiful. And if that sounds boring, that's because we haven't learned that the ultimate adventure is learning to conquer self. My kids loved it. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
