Carolly Erickson
Her Little Majesty is a fresh and fascinating portrait of the diminutive monarch who ruled the vast British empire for over 60 years. Award-winning biographer and historian, Carolly Erickson, transports you behind the walls of Buckingham Palace to introduce you to the quirky, loveable Queen Victoria—revealed only to her closest associates. Emotionally deprived, inadequately educated, and socially isolated for much of her life, young Victoria felt ill-prepared to ascend the throne. But the 19-year-old queen met her coronation day with outward dignity and confidence—then went home to bathe her pet dog. Even though her frequent temper tantrums and neurotic obsessions would have critics repeatedly fearing for her sanity, she became a powerful ruler, relentlessly leading her country through devastating wars and sweeping political reform. Carolly Erickson draws on diaries, letters, and historical documents to pen this dramatic account of England’s popular matriarch and the turbulent era that carries her name. Narrator Nelson Runger will hold you enthralled as the glory and the adversities of the Victorian age unfold.

Based on the synopsis, Victoria seemed like she was going to be quite a character but unlike the previous story, it seems Carolly Erickson focused primarily on those AROUND Victoria rather than Victoria. All you need to know about Victoria can be read in the synopsis as that is about as much as they talk about her or at least thats as much as I could pick up on when I was able to focus on the droning of Nelson Runger who's monotone voice felt like I was being put under hypnosis.
If you need something to lull you to sleep, listen to this audiobook. Generally I listen to audibles at work so this was a very bad audiobook to have purchased which also irritates me as Josephine was FREE and Her Little Majesty actually cost me a credit.
Of every credit I've ever used on this website over the last 12 years, this is by far the most regrettable.
Disappointing after Josephine.

I would have appreciated it if the reader, Nelson Runger, made it clearer when he was reading quoted material. Then again, maybe there just weren't as many quotes in this book as I expected.
Compelling and Informative

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Well spent but irritating as history keeps bouncing around in this tome.What was most disappointing about Carolly Erickson’s story?
The Queen was not a person well liked. I've not heard of her to be that childish.A grudge must be held by Erickson.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Awful accents and snide sounding. Intended snide was most likely planned to the dislike of The Queen.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No. Most books to movie attempts are horrible.Different and weird.
