500 Things You Should Know About History

Anastasia's Album brings history to life by compiling the actual personal letters, diaries, and photographs of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov. Fondly remembered by her tutor as the "imp of the house," Anastasia's lively personality shines through her cozy family tradition of scrapbooking and hand-coloring black-and-white snapshots. Compiled by Canadian historian Hugh Brewster from long-hidden Moscow state archives, this book traces her journey from a happy childhood in glittering palaces to her family's final exile. Filled with original photographs and her own childhood artwork, it offers an authentic portrait of her remarkable life.
