This book, though frightfully thin, is a very interesting study of one of the least known of Queen Victoria's children. I found the book to be particularly insightful about the princess's use of the drug laudanum as well as the works she translated, apparently with some skill. Though the book is short, it certainly helps us come a little bit closer to knowing a piece of history long gone.
