Hi Marc

I went through a stage of binge reading a lot of books on European Royalty in the late 1800s and earlier twentieth century.

My favourite one is 'Splendour to Revolution – The Romanov Women – 1847 – 1928.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0312371152/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thebeaumonde-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0312371152&linkId=26c872a31e2f4605213a8ce42c13daa2

It's a really good read about not only Grand Duchess Vladimir but Maria Feodorovrna, Maria Alexandrovna and Queen Olga of Greece.

Some other good ones are
'George and Marina'
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1909771155/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thebeaumonde-21&creative=6738&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1909771155&linkId=a4fa2b8807a03c4fb02575308a691fc1

It talks a lot about Marina's early life visiting Grand Duchess Vladimir in her childhood.

Victoria Melita
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Princess-Victoria-Melita-John-Kiste/dp/0750934697

This one is about her daughter in law (who was also Maria Alexandrovna's daughter) and her interactions in Russia before the Revolution.

Hope you enjoy these
