Orange Trees of Versailles by Annie Pietri was strange. I thought it was a children's book. It's listed as such, but it really isn't in terms of topic. At best it would fit in the Brother's Grimm category of children's stories. It was a quick read, but I am not convinced that I enjoyed it. Nice cover illustration though. (
