"Peter - The Really Great"

"My Russia" by Peter Ustinov is a book i enjoy going back to again and again. This book is in reality a "love story". Actor Peter Ustinov wrote this as an expression of his own personal love for the country of his heritage: Russia. And ever page radiates with the sense of that loving affection Ustinov had for this "magical land and mystical people". The book is beautifully designed and artistcally illustrated with photographs and drawings. a great "coffee table book' and conversation starter, but much much more than that, as Peter presents a wonderful history of "Holy Mother Russia" which lifts this book way above that level of fascination. If you want to learn a little about Russia . . . if you just enjoy that ambience (perhaps while sipping some hot "chai" with milk and honey) or if you are fan of the late actor Peter Ustinov (and his insightful while lighthearted wit and humor) you will love this book. So many books are published revealing "the loves" of famous celebrities . . . in this book, the late Peter Ustinov writes his own "tell all" about his love interest . . . his heritage . . . and it is a more than worthwhile read. Thank you Peter Ustinov, for all the many many years of great entertainment you created . . . your voice had the ability to create a myriad number of characters and impressions . . . and you kept us smiling . . . in this book you've let your own voice come to the fore . . . and we still smile. :)
