Hardback. Condition: Near Fine. First Thus. This copy is in near fine, unmarked condition bound in yellow cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight and square, there is some typical age toning to the page edges. The unclipped dustwrapper is sunned to the spine but still very good plus condition International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Miss Emmie is a curious, yet brilliantly achieved fusion of a book. At one level it is a social history chronicling the careers of five intrepid women who achieved an intellectual dignity, purpose and authority by working as governesses in Russia, achievements which would have been denied them in their homeland. On another it is an intimate portrait of pre-Revolutionary Russian society, which blows away the overblown stereotypes beloved by both Soviet and Tsarist apologists, to reveal a complex, liberal and humane society, full of enormous potential and past achievements. And as the revolution takes hold, so the book turns into a thriller and we follow, blow by blow, the extraordinary personal adventures of these women through revolution and civil war. Ref LLL 2.

hardcover, 5½" x 8¾", with dust jacket 246 pages Emma Dashwood went to Russia in 1911 and remained there until 1919. In the Russian families where she worked as a governess, she was known as 'Miss Emmie'. Many other 'Miss Emmies' went out to Russia in the early nineteenth century and gradually established the English-speaking governess as a familiar institution in upper-class Russian society (becoming unwilling participants in the Russian Revolution). This book contains first-hand accounts for these unassuming governesses. Eighteen b&w photographs. Jacket has sun-faded spine. Page edges beginning to brown. Book in GOOD condition.
