Format:Hardcover
This is a brilliant, moving and riveting book, there are not many published journals of this conflict and thats what makes fanny's diary all the more special, she never intended it to be published at the time of writing it and only re-considered when friends commented that it would be of enormous interest to the British public so that they could have a clear, defined account of not only what happened in the crimea, but also a personal insight into the troops and people who were there, a must buy book, brilliant

Format:Hardcover
This is a most interesting book on wars and how they were conducted in the late 1800s. It was a time when Officer's ladies could accompany their husbands when they went off to war and the privations and other nuisances that accompanied such trips.
In those days, rather like the Civil War in America, one could ride out and watch the battle going on and come back home for tea.
A most interesting read for both men and women about conditions in the Crimean War.

A fascinating diary about the exploits of an officer's wife during the Crimean War, the only wife to be in the Crimea.
