Queen Victoria: Her Life and Legacy

For almost 64 years, Queen Victoria reigned over Great Britain during a period which saw the country become the most powerful and prestigious in the world and one which experienced enormous social, political and industrial change. Those changes were embraced by Victoria, who became the first monarch to use the railway, to use anaesthetic to alleviate pain, and to use a telephone. This book is a journey in gloriously-coloured images through one of Britain's greatest eras -the age of Victoria. HB, 280 pages
