Pleasant and informative reading
I am really enjoying this book so interesting and lovely to hear of all the things the two princesses got up to in their youth. Crawfish seemed to be a wonderful fun loving lady and it’s obvious she brought a lot of pleasure to her time with both girls.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
