At eighteen, Princess Victoria of Kent became Queen Victoria of England, bitterly resented by most of her royal relatives. Willful, enchanting, tender, passionate, regal, her unique personality gave to an age its style and essential character - and every facet of that personality sparkles brilliantly in this jewel of a novel, told in the first person by Queen Victoria herself.

Victoria Victorious is a story to lose yourself in, recreating the public splendors and private joys and sorrows of the last of Europe's great royal figures, the Hanoverian feuds and scandals, the political struggles that were woven into the rich fabric of Victoria's sixty-four year reign.
