Title: Balkan Adventure for Children
Product review: This novel is by the author who wrote The Secret Garden and A Little Princess. Not surprisingly, as in Frances Hodgson Burnett's other stories, the main character, a boy, is noted for his resourcefulness and courage in spite of poverty and numerous obstacles. The story draws one in so that one wishes Samavia were an actual country one could visit rather than an imaginary Balkan state like Zenda. A kingdom is the sum of its subjects, and judging by the boy, his father, and their friends, Samavia is well worth fighting for. For a book which promotes patriotism and bravery try The Lost Prince of Samavia, a classic example of a Balkan adventure in the spirit of The Prisoner of Zenda.
