Description
In Victorian England, family life was very different from today and this book uses a variety of historical sources such as quotes, photos and artefacts to bring these differences to life. It looks at the family life of Queen Victoria and her subjects - from the rich bourgeois picnics and tennis parties to the lives of street urchins.
