Opium, Tea and Trade: The Dark Legacy of Addiction in Victorian England and the First Opium War

As I’m working on my romantic fantasy novel series (Fae of the Crystal Palace) set around the Great Exhibition, I wanted to share some interesting stories I’ve uncovered during my research. Here is an article about opium usage in Britain at the time. In Victorian England, opium was both a mysterious allure and a societal blight. The image of opium …
