First impressions are deceiving

When I first began reading this book, I found it's first chapter off-putting because it was all about later exploration. Later though as I reread the book I noted the narrative approach the author takes and I think that this makes the book more attractive to children. I would have preferred a different organization of the material, but it is unique and the book did engage my children in the life of Prince Henry.
