Zemlya Zar-Ptica, by Suzana Massey

From the publisher:

"Land of the Firebird" is a remarkable story of a remarkable land. It is a beautifully written history of the now-vanished culture of pre-Revolutionary Russia—a culture which produced some of the most inspiring art, literature, dance and music the world has ever known. In this magnificently illustrated, impeccably researched and gracefully written volume, Suzanne Massie evokes the Russia of the past—a land of strength, elegance and rich beauty.

"An enthralling and enchanting book written with insight, imagination, warmth and exuberance, with an understanding that weaves together the remarkable tapestry of Old Russia." -Hedrick
