Perhaps one of the best known of the English monarchs, Queen Victoria forever shaped a chapter of English history, bequeathing her name to the Victorian age. In Queen Victoria, Lucy Worsley introduces this iconic woman in a new light. Going beyond an exploration of the queen merely as a monarch, Worsley considers Victoria as a woman leading a truly extraordinary life in a unique time period.

Fab Listen On Queen Victoria
Reviewed: 02-22-19
I really enjoyed listening to this. Dr. Lucy Worsley is my favorite historian and I thought she chose an interesting premise (choosing only 24 days) to tell us about Queen Victoria. I say only because I thought it would be limited to those 24 days, but Dr. Worsley goes much into depth than that day. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it for anyone interested in learning more about Queen Victoria and Victorian history.
A note about the narrator, she was absolutely fine, but I personally would have preferred Dr. Lucy to have read it. She just has a way of adding emphasis and just a certain oomph to details and facts, which I enjoy. It would have been nice to have had her read it.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
