A good 'follow-on' from the `Famous Lives/Famous People' series, for an older child., 27 Nov 2006

By	Amazon Reviewer - See all my reviews

From the popular DEAD FAMOUS series of books `Queen Victoria and her Amusements`.

`Queen Victoria. This is probably how most people picture her:
A fat little old lady with a face that would turn milk sour. Victoria, as we all know, was dead famous for being strict, stuffy and disapproving. A queen who wore only black for 30 years and was as gloomy as a graveyard. Her most famous saying is:- `We are not amused!'.........
But was she really like that?......'

176 pages dedicated to the life of the English Queen. Split into chapters:-

Introduction
Timeline : Young Victoria
`We are Young' - Little Drina
`We are Queen' - Learning to rule
Timeline : Victoria and Albert
`We are a family - At home with Albert
`We are doing our duty' - Victoria at work
Timeline - Victoria alone
`We are in mourning' - Dead Albert lives
`We are an Empress' - The British Empire'
`We are Proud' - Glorious Victorians
`We are old' - The Jubilee years
`We are departed' - The end at last

Written in a variety of fonts with humorous black and white cartoon illustrations throughout, this is a good `follow-on' from the `Famous Lives/Famous People' series, for an older child.
