A peek at a princess in a troubled time,

This review is from: Diana Cooper: Autobiography; The Rainbow Comes and Goes; The Lights of Common Day; Trumpets from the Steep (Paperback)
Regarded as "the greatest beauty of her age," for Americans this book is a peek at English nobility in hard times, after England had lost so many of its promising young in World War I. It is a well-written account of that time between the wars from a celebrity under fire. My interest in Diana Cooper was her experience at Oxford at the time the Russian Prince Felix Yusupov was there, not too long before he returned to Russia and murdered Rasputin. Her accounts of the Prince's antics there, and her later meetings, along with husband Duff Cooper, with the Prince Felix and his wife and the famous Rembrandts is a chapter in my book, "The Lady with an Ostrich Feather Fan." An exciting read.Frederick R. Andresen, Author of "The Lady with an Ostrich Feather Fan." |
