Synopsis
Sydney Gibbes was appointed tutor to the children of Tsar Nicholas II in 1908 and over the next six years lived as one of the family in the royal palace. A demanding, fastidious man, he found the Romanovs bizarrely devout and insular. Yet he came to hold them all in deep affection. In this biography, Frances Welch draws on unpublished material, including Gibbes' letters and diaries, to throw light on the tragic Romanov story, telling it from the English teacher's point of view. The catastrophe, when it came, permanently affected Gibbes. He was a vital eye-witness to events - one of the first to gain entry into "The House of Special Purpose" after the assassination - and spent the rest of his life trying to vindicate the Tsar's memory.

Charles Sydney Gibbes (1876 - 1963) was the English tutor of Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich and his sisters. He followed them into exile. Later in his life he became an Orthodox monk, adopting the name of Nicholas after Saint Nicholas The Passion Bearer in honour of the last Czar.This small book is not uninteresting to read as it shows this quite odd personality of this Imperial tutor. I find it indeed strange that it is not clearly said that he was gay. The author is hinting at it, but that is all. Why? Gibbes was the tutor of the children of the imperial children and offers a certain insight in the life of the family, but this he is not really close to the family, not a confident. He did learn about the Heir's illness only very late. So it is a bit far fetched to claim that this offers deep insights.So all in all, it is an easy read. One finishes it in an hour. Not bad, but it does not offer deep new knowledge about the Imperial family. So in my view it is not "a gem of a book". I simply can not get excited about it.
This is a small book only 140 pages long but the problem is, it is too short for such a momentous subject and somehow neither Mr. Gibbes, himself, the English tutor to the Tsar's five children, or the children or the Tsar and Tsarina seem to gel. They are all amorphous like shadows that seem to exist more on the pages of a fictional book than in real life. Here is a man who lived day by day with the tsar's family and yet it's as though he were watching them on television, to be horribly anachronistic. The closest physical proximity you get is when Gibbes describes the antics of the mischievious Anastasia and the imperiousness of the little tsarevich, and you do realize that at those moments he really was right THERE, right in the same room with them. Gibbes as a personality seldom seems to come to life; however, as another reviewer explains, years after the Romanovs' execution when he confronts Anna Anderson, the phony Anastasia, he views her with total contempt, saying if she is the Grand Duchess, he is a Chinaman.I recommend the above review by Mr. John Cofield of "Mr. Gibbes" because it is very thorough, well-written, and he gives it five stars because he likes the book. I like it, too, but I thirst for more descriptions, more insights, more on the spot observations. Olga, Tatiana and Maria almost disappear all together. Gibbes was a person of no great talent who basked in the shadow of the famous but he can't be swept under the rug. He was on the spot. It's as simple as that. And he so identified himself with the Imperial Family he became an Orthodox Russian priest when he returned to England after the executions, grew a spectacular beard and immersed himself in the memory of the Romanovs, even keeping a shrine of some of their artifacts."The Romanovs and Mr. Gibbes" is a sort of hors d'oeuvre for a study of the family of Nicholas II. You will enjoy it as part of your collection if you're already a Romanov aficianado, but if you're a novice here, you'll need much more.
Sydney Gibbes would have been unknown to all except his own family had he not taken the momentous step of going to Russia in the early 1900s. There he sought out work as tutor to the children of various noble families, with indifferent results and gaining a reputation for behavior, which while not all that unusual for the times, definitely raised a few eyebrows (especially his insistence on whipping his students). He strode into history in 1908 when Empress Alexandra Fedorovna needed a tutor to correct her daughters' accents and hired him sight unseen. Gibbes remained with the family for the next ten years through war and revolution, teaching the four Grand Duchesses and then the hemophiliac Tsarevich.Gibbes doesn't strike the reader as particularly admirable at first. He was definitely a social-climber and not particularly talented as a teacher. His private life was mysterious, involving some mild flirtations with an Englishwoman and some dreams (carefully recorded for posterity by Gibbes himself) which seem classically Freudian.Gibbes came into his own, and we find reason to respect and like him, with the Russian Revolution of March 1917. As an Englishman he could have easily left Russia and gone home to safety. Instead he chose to remain with the Imperial Family, sharing their captivity in their palace outside Petrograd and then in Tobolsk. He underwent considerable hardship and personal danger, but he was selflessly devoted to the family. Even after he was told to leave by the Bolsheviks who were holding the family in their final prison in Ekaterinburg he remained in the city, walking past the House of Special Purpose and trying to get in for visits. After the family's murder, he assisted the investigators trying to determine what had happened.After leaving Russia Gibbes lived in China before returning to England. He became an Orthodox priest, adopted a Russian orphan boy, and spent most of the rest of his life in Oxford, maintaining a museum of keepsakes of the family he had served for so long. He was not particularly effective as a priest, but he was sadly missed and fondly remembered after his death, which is a pretty good epitaph for anyone.This biography makes use primarily of Gibbes'own notes and diary, so that the reader must look elsewhere for historical insight into his life, but nevertheless it does a nice job telling the story of a quiet, somewhat limited man who was a good servant and friend.
A very interesting pocket book. A great perspective of the times. For a history buff, a good eye witness biographical account. However, considering the near epic situation of those times and places, the book seems sparse. A noticeable ommission are (the other?) Gibbes' photographs not published in this book. I've seen photographs published elsewhere that were attributed to be taking by Gibbs. A proper mix of these photos and the book would have added much. But still, this book is very much worth reading. For you history buffs, and a complementary account, check out Gilliard's writtings.
This was a good book and quite sad.
Was greatly anticipating this read...here it is, an up-close look at someone who spent significant time with the Imperial Family. Finally, an opportunity to get a real glimpse of Olga, Tatiana, Marie, and Anastasia...who else could provide such personal commentary but the one person who spent years tutoring the family?? The promise was there (at least in the title), but the pages never delivered. VERY little at all was mentioned about the daughters, and what little anecdotes offered dealt primarily with Alexei. The most interesting part of the book was his brief description of his confrontation of Anna Anderson, the Anastasia imposter. If you're looking for a biography of the man who tutored the Romanov children...by all means buy this book. If you're looking for personal insight into the Imperial family, don't bother.
