Why read it?
1 author picked Darling Child as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is one of a series of books of letters between Queen Victoria and her eldest daughter, which gives a real insight into their characters and the obvious affection they shared. Sometimes gossipy and sometimes describing events of historical significance, it enables the reader to gain ‘inside information’ on numerous well-known characters and to experience the vagaries of life in a royal family. A must-have for any Queen Victoria aficionado!
From Christina's list on The best books about the fascinating Queen Victoria.
