"This book, a spell-binding and attractive telling of the story of Queen Esther (in the Old Testament), was a discovery of mine when I was in 5th grade. I'm now 66 years old, and I still remember it!
It's attractive to any girl who's fascinated by beauty pageants, princesses, ancient history (e.g., the Persian Empire), and has a vivid imagination about how wonderful it would be to experience all those things....and then learn that with being royalty comes some scary and life-threatening responsibilities.
I loved this book! And now---given the cost of those first editions---I wish I had acquired a copy years ago."
