What boy or girl hasn't dreamed about what life would have been like if they had been born a royal? Kids Who Rule gives us a glimpse of this life for real. Five child monarchs who ruled at different times in history are the subject of this book — King Tutankhamun of Egypt, Mary Queen of Scots, Queen Christina of Sweden, Henry Puyi, Emperor of China and the Dalai Lama of Tibet. The reality is not often the stuff of dreams but none-the-less fascinating. For example, Christina's father, King Gustavus Adolphus wanted a boy so badly he insisted on raising her as if she were one for the first five years of her life. And, even though Henry Puvi was the Emperor of China, he lived in the Forbidden City as a virtual prisoner for most of his life.
