Description
“You call me the little Queen,” she told her uncle the King of the Belgians; “my body is little, but my heart is not.”
Edith Sitwell’s endearing portrait of the young Victoria chronicles her unlikely ascension to the throne: spanning the succession crisis of King George III, her enduring love and marriage to Prince Albert, and her strength and power in a male dominated world.
Weaving in Victoria’s personal letters and diaries, Sitwell breathes life into the Queen’s relationships with her family and her court. A rich exploration of Victoria’s reign and a social document of Victorian Britain, Victoria of England vividly illustrates the life of the iconic monarch with insight and emotion.

I used to despise history at school and dreaded each lesson but now that over a decade has passed I have come to really enjoy books on history and historical figures. This book is one of those that make learning so easy and accessible. I appreciated the extensive research carried out by Sitwell in order to create an interesting and readable title full of intriguing information on the young Victoria, including her ascension to the throne and details about her love of Prince Albert.
I cannot recommend this highly enough, a fantastic read that I learned a lot from. Sometimes history books can be tedious and boring but this is definitely not the case here - I loved it!
Many thanks to Agora Books for an ARC. I was not required to post a review and all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.

This was an interesting and well researched book on Victoria. I felt like I wanted to learn more about her after reading this because the author did such a good job of writing about her life.

This book was good, full of historical knowledge and accurate which are the main things i look for in a historical book! but i was not a huge fan of the authors writing style so i give it 4/5 stars!
