Ms. Elizabeth
It's been a while since I've reading on this historic figure. I believe this more or less glorified his reign. But its short enough to brush up on history. Narrator was easy to listen to.
great narrative. a couple mispronounced words set my teeth on edge but otherwise
good short story of Napoleon

Lessons I learnt from this amazing story. 1) Be bold and believe in yourself. 2) if people don't crown you, feel free to crown yourself a king 3) when you're weak don't fight. 4) Anticipate disaster before they arise.. 5) if you want to be a king, you must be worth being a king by following the process..
