Anastasia made everyone laugh. Even her father, Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, could not resist her hilarious imitations of pompous visitors to the palace. The Tsar and his children loved to take photographs and they spent many cozy evenings pasting snapshots of their trips and activities into albums. Anastasia also liked to paint flowers on the pages of her albums or add colour to the black and white photos. Anastasia also wrote letters to her father and to friends that reveal her lively personality.

Even after the Tsar's downfall and the Imperial Family's imprisonment in Siberia, Anastasia's photographs and letters continued, providing a record of their lives until almost the very end. Drawing on these precious personal keepsakes--long hidden in Soviet archives--Anastasia's Album offers a unique glimpse into the private world of the last Romanovs. Here is the fascinating true story of a remarkable young girl's life and an unforgettable portrait of the last days of Imperial Russia.
