Victoria by Catherine Reef

Victoria by Catherine Reef

Catherine Reef brings history vividly to life in this sumptuously illustrated account of a confident, strong-minded, and influential woman.



Victoria woke one morning at the age of eighteen to discover that her uncle had died and she was now queen. She went on to rule for sixty-three years, with an influence so far-reaching that the decades of her reign now bear her name--the Victorian period. Victoria is filled with the exciting comings and goings of royal life: intrigue and innuendo, scheming advisors, and assassination attempts, not to mention plenty of passion and discord. Includes bibliography, notes, British royal family tree, index.

 

Catherine Reef is the author of more than 40 nonfiction books for young people, many of them award winners. Her biographies include the highly praised E. E. Cummings: A Poet's Life and Sigmund Freud: Pioneer of the Mind, winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Award. She lives in College Park, Maryland.
