Queen Victoria by Harriet Castor

Queen Victoria by Harriet Castor

Each title in this series tells the story of a man or woman whose dedication to their chosen cause led to changes that affect all our lives today. Each includes a vivid description of the world in which the famous person lived. Even young readers will have heard of the great queen who gave her name to a period that spanned the best part of a century but here they learn of Victoria's early life, her struggles against a dominating family, her accession to the throne at only eighteen years old, her happy marriage to Albert, then despair at his death. her story is the story of the golden era of the British Empire, and the narrative blends historical detail with the more personal events of Victoria's life. The reader also learns of how people then thought of royalty, and how opinions can change through the behaviour of one individual.

Harriet Castor lives in London and is an established children's writer. She has written several titles in this series and has also written fiction for adults.
