Book Synopsis


Trade Review
“Rare and unpublished images include a photograph of Victoria as a baby, a wax bust of her aged nine—particularly lifelike with painted features and real hair—and a sketch of her aged 11.”—Dalya Alberge, The Telegraph

“Here is a wonderful collection of visual source material, too, a beguiling enhancement to an admirable and enjoyable study of the young Victoria.”—Matthew Dennison, Country Life

“It’s beautifully presented, but doesn’t skimp on historical analysis.”—History Revealed, “Visual Book of the Month”

“[An] elegant book. . . . It is enlivened by a huge number of well-selected—and largely unfamiliar—illustrations.”—William Laffan, World of Interiors

“[A] rich resource for the study of both Victoria’s early years and her later reflections on their impact on her later life.”—Shurlee Swain, Journal of British Studies
