The secret of the lion's head

The first and only time I read this book before now I was somewhere around the age of ten. It's easy to see why young me liked this book as much as I did. Older me ... well, I'd like Auntie's story. Don't get me wrong, Annie is a good MC and I like her, but Elizabeth is at the center of everything and I can't help but feel that this story is just a short little snapshot of a much, much larger story.
