This was such a great book. Arturo Beeche has done a wonderful job in portraying Grand Duchess Helen Vladimirovna of Russia and her family through words and a multitude of photographs. The book is a marvel and an important addition to the world of royal books. Any collector should get this for their library.

I did, however, have a couple complaints. The first was the lack of footnotes and index, which I consider staples of any royal biography. The second was the unfortunate typographical errors which could have been fixed by running a spellcheck.

These complaints aside, the book is wonderful, and Mr. Beeche is to be commended on a job well-done. ( )
