The Little Swedish Baron (Illustrated) (Classic Fiction for Young Adults Book 20) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This is a very nice book about a young boy destined to become a baron in Sweden. His father was accused of stealing the family fortune, and was thrown out of the palace. Carl and his mother need to find ways to keep their lands, palaces, and status. There are a few well-crafted surprises throughout the book. Very well-written and enjoyable to read.

Unlike other e-copies of the book, it was not produced by using Optical Character Recognizion (OCR). OCR-scanning old books is seldom, if ever, error-free. This often results in an e-book with many **, ^^, >> and typographic errors when OCR can't read the word or punctuation correctly. * "True representation" means that if there are typographic, spelling, or grammatical errors that the editor judges to have minimal impact on the book's comprehension, they are preserver; otherwise, they are corrected. * In other words, no changes or as few as possible have been made to either illustrations or text in order to bring you an e-book that is as close to the original as possible.
