Reviews

[Hannnah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an interesting perspective into Queen Victoria's life, and perhaps how that affected the way she later ruled, and her upbringing being that perfect combination that resulted in a queen who ruled for so long in peace in a time that had been tumultuous.
