164pp plus 16pp of plate illustrations. Blue cloth boards with gilt titles to spine (boards are sharp, clean, bright and tight). Internally neat, fresh and without marks. In its original dust jacket (very slightly bumped on upper edge). A very human story told with humour : Princess Olga is the daughter of the eldest nephew of Tsar Nicholas II, who was murdered by the Bolsheviks in 1918 - she tells the story of the jewels her family smuggled out of Russia as they fled the Bolshevik regime, gives a glimpse of her privileged and cosseted childhood, and the story of her home, Provender House, which is crammed full of Romanov memorabilia, and the setting for some extraordinary family tales.
