Delightful, But Flawed,
By sn Go Blue (SE Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Napoleon (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my child as a gift from my trip to New Orleans because I wanted her to learn a little something about the Emperor from a child's point of view. The book's illustrations are lovely, and there is a good deal of truth to the story. Napoleon loved children, not just his own, but all others to whom he came in to contact. Betsy was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise miserable situation. My one BIG complaint is the error at the end stating the Emperor died not long after Miss Balcombe returned to England. I found myself doing something I rarely do in my daughter's books: I sat down with a pen and corrected the error. The Emperor lived, I believe, about 3 more years after Miss Balcombe left the island.
