…because the kids like it.
This is kind of some messed up stuff, here. French school girls chasing down international jewel thieves with halberds and getting arrested and thrown into British jails because the king’s a total d*ck. Plus, English duchesses telling kids how she ran off with the butler and evil flappers[*].
Weird.

[*Erm. The duchess didn’t run off with the butler AND evil flappers, sorry. There was a duchess. And then there were evil flappers. Well, one at least.]
Who had the halberds? The kids or the thieves?
Yes. 🙂
I loved those books when I was a kid, If I ever have kids I’m definitely going to read those to them.
