Victoria of England

You call me the little Queen, she told her uncle the King of the Belgians; my body is little, but my heart is not.
Edith Sitwell''s endearing portrait of the young Victoria chronicles her unlikely ascension to the throne: spanning the succession crisis of King George III, her enduring love and marriage to Prince Albert, and her strength and power in a male dominated world.

A rich exploration of Victoria''s reign and a social document of Victorian Britain, Victoria of England vividly illustrates the life of the iconic monarch with insight and emotion. See more
