Victoria's adventure is fuelled by her fascination with the Queen Victoria - both her public and private persona. She explores how Victoria felt about the colonisation being forged in her name and what she was like as a wife and mother. In her inimitable fashion, Victoria Wood records her adventure tracing a nation's colourful history -- blending the outrage and eccentricity with a celebration of the ordinary. Map on lining papers. Includes bibliographical references (p. 279-282).
