VICTORIA AND ALBERT (PITKIN)

Victoria and Albert's romance marked a turning point for Britain's royal family; to the queen in particular, love and marriage proved a source of strength and comfort. But Albert's adopted country remained wary of his intelligence and seriousness, with most people as unaware of his private playfulness as they were of the contrasting aspects of Victoria's own character. This book tells how the young couple became partners in private and in public, at home with their family and ever on duty as sovereign and consort.
