Anastasia's Album: The Last Tsar's Youngest Daughter Tells Her Own Story
reviewed on + 1775 more book reviews


This is a selction of her written lessons, drawings, and family pictures left behind when the Romanovs were relocated and it allows readers a glimpse of the life enjoyed by the Czar's family. One should remevber the dreadful life of so many of Czar's subjects as they peruse this otherwise well-edited volume. Anna Anderson, the author of the autobiography "I Am Anastasia" (movie followed)is mentioned only briefly. I met Mr. Kerensky when I was a boy and although he said he had never met the young Grand Duchess herself, he felt the author to be deluded. And so DNA testing finally proved.
