    Known as a young adult book world widely which was categorized as a children's book in Taiwan when I was a little girl. I have to point out that it's far too difficult for a child to understand the history background of the story, especially for an Asian girl like me at that time. But I did enjoy reading it as a little girl and it turned out one of my favorite books.
