The Lite Brite has a backlight....
Kind of low resolution display, though. Something like 5 dpi, isn't it? Nice color saturation, though. |

And just what the hell is a league, as referencing a distance! The kindle dictionary has a furlong as an eighth of a mile, but says that a league is a grouping of states or individuals with a singular purpose. Doesn't make sense when the character states that she is going to travel less than two leagues to the nearest castle.
