Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Arturo Beeche (illustratore). This bookâ s concept began with our frustration over the lack of English language sources available on the six beautiful Nassau sisters of Luxembourg, their descendants and the families they married into. We, however, wanted to know more. Thus, we braved our way through whatever foreign language materials we could find, and as we learned more about the princessesâ lives our interest grew to include the account of their parentsâ courtship and eventual marriage, a union which is one of the more touching but tragic of historyâ s untold royal love stories. Nor would the narrative of the sistersâ lives be complete without an explanation of how their grandfather came to inherit the Luxembourg throne. We hope you enjoy our effortâ ¦â Sabrina and Kassandra Pollock. Hardbound, glossy print, 240 pages, 405 rare images of the grand ducal family and other related royal and princely families. 3 LB.
