The book is chonical of the life and reign of Queen Victoria’s life, who reigned over Great Britain and Ireland for a good part of the 19th Century. The narrative focused on present providing the subject matter in a concise manner, easily readable in one to two hours. Victoria's story is a difficult one to tell if only for its duration. Victoria lived for 81 years and was Queen for 63 years, six decades during which the industry, economy, society and foreign policy of Great Britain changed dramatically. The world Victoria was born into was a very different one to that which she left behind, and her life story is an incredible journey from infant heir to Queen and Empress.

Excellent piece of English history written with gusto.
I was particularly interested in reading this piece of history especially after having watched the episodes of Victoria on the BBC. This was an interesting fast read and followed the important years of Victoria's reign very well. Thanks for having this available. My next read will be Benjamin Franklin.

Fast reading and just scratches the surface of Queen Victoria's life, but is very pleasant to read.
