Opening with Rip Van Winkle waking to a changed world, Browne asks what had altered in Britain over Victoria’s long reign and then tells her story: a guarded childhood, early accession, marriage to Prince Albert, a large family, the strains of war, and the Highland life at Balmoral she loved more every year.
Pitched for young readers and families, it is a gentle, affectionate introduction to the queen and her age. Download the free EPUB.
