Windows for the Crown Prince

Viac o knihe

Windows for the Crown Prince is a fascinating inside account of the formative years of Akihito, the reigning Emperor of Japan, written by his trusted tutor, the late Elizabeth Vining. Mrs. Vining was engaged to “open windows onto a wider world for the Crown Prince”—then a shy and highly sheltered twelve-year-old possessed of an irrepressible curiosity about man and nature. First published in 1952, Windows for the Crown Prince offers a vibrant insight into the cloistered lives of the Imperial Family and is the poignant story of her efforts and her successes.
