I just finished reading a great little book, Princess Adelina. This book is simple & yet deep. It is inspiring as well as based on a true story.
If this isn’t enough for me to read to my children, they love a good adventure, then the fact that we live right where it takes place is reason enough. The main place is Wirtsburg, now Wurtzburg & even Mainz before it got it’s present name is mentioned. How wonderful! We live 20 minutes from Mainz & a couple of hours from Wurtzburg.
The fact that we are so close to these places, and have visited some of them, will make it all the more real. Nothing brings a book to life like actually visiting the town.
Go read the book!
