Nikolai Baikov

[Mitsu Numano]

Dear List,
   One of my students would like to work on the emigre Russian writer Nikolai Baikov (1872-1958), who lived in Kharbin, Manchuria, and died in Australia.   Although he is almost forgotten now, he once was a very popular writer in Japan and one of his novels, “Velikii Van,” became a bestselling book in Japanese translation and was called “The Jungle Book of Manchuria”.
   Little is known, however, about his biography.   I wonder if there are any materials about him housed in libraries, etc. , or his relatives and offsprings  who could help us in our research.  I ‘d appreciate very much any information.
