Violetta, where do you get all your information?  I've been researching Grand Duchess Alexandra for quite some time, but info is hard to come by; do you have any sources you'd be willing to share?  Thanks.

Were there any books on the daughters of Nicholas I ?

[Dru]

I have yet to come across one; maybe you'll read my book about Alexandra when it's published    By the way, thank you, violetta!

I don't know any book, but in the book Alexandra, Empress of Russia by August Theodor von Grimm, there is a whole chapter about Alexandra Nikolaievna. It tells about her personality, her disposition, her relationship with her family and her husband and her death.

Hi there,
I'm not what you could call fluent, but I know enough Russian to get by.  Why do you ask? 

[Eric_Lowe]

Is the book in German or Russian ?

[Dru]

Alexandra Feodorovna, Empress of Russia was originally written in German, but was translated to English by a Lady Wallace.  You can read it at http://books.google.com.  Search for "August Theodor von Grimm."

I did came across information of Olga in German and got some translated. She was more written about at least in German since she was Queen of Wurttemburg.

Alexandra's room in The Cottage. Here in the summer of 1843, she spent her happiest days, because of her meeting and subsequent betrothal to "Fritz". You can see his portrait on the table.






Her room in Tsarkoe Selo, and again you can see portrait of Fritz on an easel. The inscription says: "My room in Tsarskoe Selo. 16 October".
