Faberge's Eggs: The Extraordinary Story of the Masterpieces That Outlived an Empire
“Fascinating . . . lively . . . more enthralling, earthy and illuminating than any fiction could be.†–The New York Times Book Review “A celebration of six instruments and the master craftsman who made them . . . [Faber] brings to the subject an infectious fascination with Stradivari’s life and trade. . . . He writes with clarity and fluency.†–Chicago Tribune “An extraordinary accomplishment and a compelling read. Like strange totems that cast an irresistible spell, these instruments bring out the best and the worst of those who would own them, and Faber deftly tells the stories in all their rich and surprising detail.†–Thad Carhart, author of The Piano Shop on the Left Bank
“A worthy contribution to the ongoing legend of Stradivari.†–Minneapolis Star Tribune
“Fascinating, accessible, and enjoyable.†–Tracy Chevalier, author of Girl with a Pearl Earring
