Both books have some sun bleach on the spines.
These stories can help understand the back story to the revolution in Russia near the end of World War I, and what happened. Many good discussion points. It can be difficult for today's children to understand the strict hierarchies in the feudal system and how easily the masses were mistreated. Both books can help illustrate what happens to individuals in a dictatorship.
