AppleBlossom (9.5) thinks that it is an energetic and adventurous story. The Princess (7.5) says she doesn't know what to say.
The book via the D'Aulaires is copyright 1946. It is not offensive or derogatory in any way of a historical text. It was how things were written and perhaps the political correctness has changed. I do not find this in poor taste and wouldn't hesitate to let my children read it. They are learning about history and the truth that not all history aspects are something to be proud of, however, some good may always be found within the evil of man's actions end results.
