Why a Booktrail?
1840s: Victoria as seen on TV – a book to accompany the TV series.
The Victoria Letters
What you need to know before your trail
The Victoria Letters delves into the private writings of the young Queen Victoria, painting a vivid picture of the personal life of one of England’s greatest monarchs.
With the images and historical information in the book, the story as well as the setting of Victoria really go come to life. This book goes well with the series as it follows the same story and details the thoughts and situations in the television programme that you will want to take a closer look at.
They say you can tell a lot about a person by reading their letters and diaries. This is the chance to get inside the mind of Victoria the girl and women as well as Victoria the Queen.
Victoria ascended the throne as a rebellious teenager and gradually grew to become one of the most memorable, unshakeable and powerful women in history. The extensive writings she left behind document this personal journey and show how she triumphed over scandal and corruption.
A gorgeously regal golden cover too really sets the tone for what’s inside.
