Queen Victoria: A Biographical Companion

I bought this book, shortly after seeing the movie "Young Victoria" with Emily Blunt....the movie had inspired me to learn more about the life of Queen Victoria. Therefore, I bought this book and was not disappointed. This book is in chronological order and gives great backgrounds on all the Royal members & staff involved in Queen Victoria's life (eg: her mother, her deceased father, her uncle, her maids and governess, etc...).The book also describes the meeting of Pr.Albert and how the courtship went along.Then the book describes all the children that The Queen and Pr. Albert had together, and what happened in their own lives.All this information is written with lovely photographs, so that the reader can see what the actual people (mentioned) really looked like.I love this book and it will remain in my own Library for years to come since it is such a wonderful REFERENCE book.

I wasn't looking for or expecting an encyclopedia style book. Plus, for a new book, the binding shouldn't be coming apart.

Enjoyed this book!

Excellent
