So what if this book isn't historically correct? Kids are too young to understand the real truth of Anastasia, and it's even more difficult for them to understand who's higher in ranks of royalty. This book is meant for kids to enjoy the wonder and beauty of Anastasia. It's based on the 20th Century Fox movie, and it is great. So please, STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW INACCURATE THIS MOVIE OR ANY OF THESE PRODUCTS ARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just let the kids enjoy what they see: more fantasy and adventure movies, less reality and action movies.

Okay, first things first! As a huge fan of Anastasia I of course purchased this book, and I see that all of these older people are giving anything Anastasia related a bad rap. I bet if it were a storybook for the 1956 version of Anastasia they wouldn't be so judgmental. This book has lush poem-like text and really beautiful breathtaking paintings/pictures that aren't reproductions but drawn special just for this book. The cover is also really beautiful and sparkly. It could be used as bedtime reading though it is a little short but anyone ANY age could read this and enjoy it too.
People need to look past the fact that this movie is based on the REAL Anastasia Nicholaievna Romanov {Who I know much about as well as her family!} And just accept the MOVIE itself for what it is, not it's true history, which it is not!

I haven't read the book, I couldn't get past the historical innacuracies in the description. The first mistake is the title. Anastasia was not a princess, but a grand duchess. A grand duchess outranked a princess. This may only be a minor detail, but if we're going to present this to kids as history it needs to be accurate. Unfortunately all of the Anastasia books I've looked at have similar and worse problems.
