How do you mean Rochelle? - are you having trouble getting your hands on a copy? - I've just checked Amazon, both the USA & the UK sites and there are copies available there both new and second hand.

Nicky, Willy and Georgie. Did anyone see the PBS show about the little boy John who was third in line after Albert(Bertie) and George VI? He was autistic and epileptic and died at 13. But there was a good deal of historical background about the 3 cousins, and how WWI began. It was just gut-wrenching when George wanted to send ships to save Nicholas and the gov't advised him against it. And so the family was slaughtered.

The entire prelude and the war itself is viewed from John's childish and isolated perspective.
