Lost Tales: Stories for the Tsar's Children

description:

A collection of the stories and drawings composed by Gleb Botkin for the imperial children during their imprisonment in Tobolsk.

unique features:

Everything -- Botkin's stories have not been reproduced elsewhere.

in my opinion:

Amusing in their own right, but also interesting to speculate how the imperial children related to the political situation of Botkin's fictional "Mars", which was undergoing a revlution.
