I love it

I am a Romanov buff myself since I was in high school, when I first heard of the family in a history class. I have read since as many books on the Romanovs as I can put my hands on. And I absolutely love this one. It is not a scholarly work like Massie's, but the intimate details of the family are wonderful. I especially liked the fact that you come to know the kids better, their individual personalities. I still smile every time I read that Maria signed her letters as "Mrs Demenkov." I have read and looked through this book about a hundred times already, and I am still as fascinated as I was the first time

lavishly illustrated book for romanov fanatics

One of the best coffee-table books on one of the most beloved and tragic families of this century. Several photos show Nicholas and Alexandra before the birth of their first child, Olga, until the house arrest of the family. With an accompanying text and several annonations, this poignant photo album/book show the lives of the Romanovs through carefully chosen pictures from the Russian archives. Leafing through the pages of the book will make one feel transported to a different era, the time of Imperial Russia. A must for Romanov memorabilia collectors and historians.
