Crowned in a Far Country: Portraits of Eight Royal Brides

Rating:
Summary: Poor book, considering who wrote it.
Review: I generally liked this book. It was well-written and is a very quick read.

However, I do have some complaints. There are no footnotes on where the author found her quotes, only a thin bibliography of the author's sources. The last chapter on Alexandra Of Denmark and her sister Dagmar is, by far, the weakest chapter. It should have been titled "Alexandra", for it barely has anything on Princess Dagmar and her influence on Russia. She also gets her geneology mixed up.

If you find this book at the library then I encourage you to pick it up and read it. Otherwise, don't waste your time or money in searching for this out-of-print book.

The best thing that I can say of this book is that it will get you interested in its subjects. If you do wish to read more about royal subjects, then go to Frasers.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This book is very good.In the sources part of the book it doesnt say where she got alot of her recources.She knows these things because shes related to almost all of them.If not by blood then by marriage.All but two of the royal houses of europe still running or not were intwined by marriage.So that is how she got most of her resources.
