Even knowing this story, I was a taken aback by the brutal nature of some of this story. My boys were about 8, 6, and 4 years old when I read it to them for the first time- I would probably not have included my youngest two in our read aloud time. Miss Windeatt does a nice job presenting the story for older children.
