The Lost World of Nicholas and Alexandra.
Once they were a couple deeply in love and rulers of one-sixth of the globe. Now, in this spectacular illustrated history, the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra and the vanished world of imperial Russia are recreated with unprecedented vividness and intimacy. Peter Kurth's narrative, which follows Nicholas and Alexandra from childhood to the Siberian cellar where their lives ended, is complemented by rare images from the imperial family's private collections - many of them locked away for decades in Soviet archives, and now published here for the first time - as well as Peter Christopher's contemporary full-colour photographs of the places and palaces the Romanovs knew.
