About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1936. A first edition, first printing published by Faber and Faber in 1936. A near fine book without inscriptions with spotting to the endpapers and pasedowns. In the very good Barnet Freedman-designed unclipped wrapper with a little rubbing to the spine tips and to the corners and general edge wear and light chipping. Browning to the spine. Excessively rare in the fragile dust wrapper. An endearing portrait of the young Victoria chronicles her unlikely ascension to the throne: spanning the succession crisis of King George III, her enduring love and marriage to Prince Albert, and her strength and power in a male dominated world. Weaving in Victoria's personal letters and diaries, Sitwell breathes life into the Queen's relationships with her family and her court. A rich exploration of Victoria's reign and a social document of Victorian Britain, Victoria of England vividly illustrates the life of the iconic monarch with insight and emotion.
