Description:
New York: Viking, 2003. First. Fine/Fine. From the publisher: "Drawing from decades of work, travel, and research in Russia, Robert Alexander re-creates the tragic, perennially fascinating story of the final days of Nicholas and Alexandra Romanov as seen through the eyes of their young kitchen boy, Leonka. Now an ancient Russian immigrant, Leonka claims to be the last living witness to the Romanovs' brutal murders and sets down the dark secrets of his past with the imperial family. Does he hold the key to the many questions surrounding the family's murder? Historically vivid and compelling, The Kitchen Boy is also a touching portrait of a loving family that was in many ways similar to yet so different from any other." A fine copy with brown paper spine on red paper boards and red titles on the spine. No marks or damage at all. Unclipped DJ is also pristine. Signed by the author on the title page. "Gift Quality" .
