Faberge's Eggs by Toby Faber
4.0

I've been obsessed with Faberge Eggs for as long as I can remember. Their opulence speaks of a different time and place, and their beauty is astonishing. So I knew this book would be something I would love! It took me a long time to finish it, not because it was boring or uninteresting, but because I had to stop so often to look up pictures of the eggs themselves. That was actually probably the biggest problem with the book: so few pictures! But overall it was a fascinating look at Faberge, his art, the Romanovs, and the chaos after the Revolution. Great book!
