Description
During her sixty-three-year reign Queen Victoria met everyone from Florence Nightingale to 'Buffalo Bill', as well as royalty from around the world and this book examines the meetings and letters exchanged between her and a veritable 'who's who' of her time. Through archival research, newspapers and interviews with descendants, we can sit right alongside Victoria to find out her views, from her less than enamoured assessment of 'Greatest Showman' P.T. Barnum and her opinions about Jack the Ripper, to how much she enjoyed Jane Eyre and the affection she held for her family.
