Angel on the square? I´ve never heard of that one. is it a novel?

[ashanti01]

It is a novel.

I can't remember the exact story but it's about a girl who basically comes into the lives of Imperial Family when her mother becomes Alexandra's lady in waiting. It follows her from her carefree days to the turmoils of the revolution.

[Grand Duchess Jennifer]

Ashanti is right. Angel on the Square is a book about a girl named Ekaterina (known as Katya) whose mother becomes Lady In Waiting to the Empress. If you click on the link you can read an excerpt.

Camera and the Tsars

Collections of the Romanovs (about Ermitage)

Rasputin (by Michael de Enden)

Except for already mentioned Carolly Erickson´s weird biography of Alexandra, I have to add "King, Kaiser, Tsar" by Catherine Clay. Really a good book in my oppinion. They had it in "Cheap books" (yes, that´s the name), for 79 CZ crowns (cca. 4 dollars)

[toscany]

I have just bought, Michael and Natasha: The Life and Love of Michael II, the Last of the Romanov Tsars by Rosemary Crawford & Donald Crawford.

I have also put on inter library loan request, The Grand Duke's woman : The story of the morganatic marriage of Michael Romanoff, the Tsar Nicholas II's brother and Nathalia Cheremetevskaya , by Pauline Gray.

[RomanovMartyrs]

I have been living in Finland for university, but most of my collection had to stay in America when I moved a year ago. However I've lately acquired some nice new additions to my collection from my trips to St. Petersburg and Moscow.

My new books + icons (Yes, I didn't have Nicholas & Alexandra yet, fail):



My mock Faberge egg:



I keep leaves pressed in the big photo book. The leaves are from Alexander Palace grounds.

[Holly]

I can't even count how many photographs I have at the moment. I've been collecting Romanov things for like nine years and I've gotten collections from different people put together, plus I scan from my books and all that.

Right now I have:

1 icon of NAOTMAA.
1 icon of NAOTMAA that the man who was believed to have found Anastasia's remains (before the real remains were found) sent me.
1 blue glass NII 'Faberge' egg from St. Petersburg. (Plus many other 'Faberge' eggs.)
1 hand painted brooch of Anastasia Nicholaievna from Russia.
2 postcards of Anastasia Nicholaeivna.
