Format:Paperback
Anyone who does continuing studies on Queen Victoria, her family and her court will find this a very interesting and useful resource. Drawing on hundreds of previously unpublished letters, the Queen and all around her are viewed with another pair of eyes, those of Sir Howard Elphinstone, who became a surrogate father to the Royal children after Prince Albert's death and also the Queen's most trusted confidant. This is, to quote the reviewers, a compelling picture of Victorian Court life, crammed with fascinating details. The book may seem too long for the casual reader but not for the student. It may be interestingly compared with the film "Mrs Brown".
