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.

A must-have for any Queen Victoria aficionado!
From Christina's list on the fascinating Queen Victoria.
