A very merry monarch,

This review is from: Queen Victoria was amused (Hardcover)
This wonderful book shows how mistaken the popular view of Queen Victoria is, of a dull, straightlaced humorous woman. In fact, she was a fun-loving person with a wonderful sense of humour, and quite surprisingly broad-minded. Her life was filled with laughter, and this book is full of marvellous anecdotes about her. Her opinions wer often very unconventional, for instance she was sympathetic towards unhappily married women, even to the point of condoning adultery, a very unusal view for her time. She was fiercely opposed to the sabbatarian movement, which wanted to prevent people from enjoying themselves on Sunday. She surrounded herself with people who amused her (only a person with a strong sense of humour could have tolerated john Brown. )You cannot read this book without becoming an ardent fan of this most misunderstood Queen.
