Impression
I think anyone is able to enjoy this story and it's not difficult to understand. But we can enjoy it more if we have an understanding of the world situation and the British Royal Family. George VI and Elizabeth stayed in Buckingham Palace during the war and received  food-control system the same as the nation. I think they gave a real big influence to  Britain nation of the day. Because their view point were stay a same long time. It is the same as the current Japanese Imperial Family. I think that it's important that the U. K. and Japan until maintain an Imperial Family  the present age.It was good that I could learn the backgrounds of history and the the British Imperial Family.
