A look at the collection of Imperial Easter Eggs that were made by Carl Faberge, who they were for, and even more interesting, what happened to them after the Russian Revolution. Terrific read that isn't too heavy, and rather exciting. While some of it is redundant, and will be not that interesting if they already know about Faberge, the Romanovs, and the Eggs, it still is a good introduction to the topic.
