\"English governess Anne Topham spent seven years (1902-1909)...in Germany as the tutor for Kaiser Wilhelm II's only daughter, Victoria Louise...Topham's memoirs are marvelous for their freshness: Topham was an excellent observer of court life...This is superb original source material for students & hence essential for academic libraries as well as large public libraries whose World War I collections frequently are limited to military & political accounts.\"--LIBRARY JOURNAL. \"A graceful compilation...a vivid series of pictures of daily life in the Prussian Court...with ominous warnings of the approaching storm.\"--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. \"...A well-knit, highly informative, & always interesting account....Given Wilhelm's...overlarge army & ambitious new navy, the first excuse for war was seized upon. It is greatly to her credit that Topham clearly saw the clues -- & the emperor's lack of moral garb -- & wove them into a valuable addition to social & political history.\"--SMALL PRESS MAGAZINE.
