[Maxine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Useful for middle grades, because of the content, illustrations, and index. Also good as a way of bringing in historical information under the guise of "ooooh, pretty things."

Would definitely recommend for "interesting" non-fiction.

A pretty enough book written not quite as a history of the times, not quite as a history of Febergé, not quite as an art book and more of a book for older kids than for adults. As an adult I wanted more history, or more biography, or more art so skipped through this in an hour.

Quick introduction to Carl Fabergé. It has good color pictures but could have used more of them.
