"Worsley gives us Victoria in all her infinite variety--queen and
mother, matriarch and minx. I loved it." --Daisy Goodwin, author of
The American Heiress, The Fortune Hunter and Victoria: A Novel "A
wonderfully fresh, vivid and engaging portrait." -- Jane Ridley,
author of Bertie: A Life of Edward VII "The glory of this book is
in the details, and the specific moments, that Worsley chooses to
single out for mention, and in her cheerful voice as she leads us
by the hand to the next window of Victoria's life calendar." --The
London Times "an insightful, sympathetic, and vividly written
examination of the 'good woman' who ruled England for 64
years....Worsley's command of the material and elegant writing
style make this a must-read for anyone interested in the British
monarchy."--Publisher's Weekly
