I was wondering if anybody here had any book recommendations on Victoria herself and also her relationship with Albert. I was thinking about reading Daisy Goodwin's novel. Should I? Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance!
shareA Magnificant Obsession and We Two are good bios about the Queen and lots about her relationship with Albert
The new bio by Julia Baird is good
Daisy Goodwin is mostly a fiction writer...would not trust her on true (non-fiction) books
Lots of good books, check Amazon. The ones I mentioned are all on there plus many more. Also Shooting Queen Victoria, which details all of the assasination attempts on her, but also is a good bio of her life and reign.
Also I love the books of her her letters to her daughter Vicki as well as one of her letters to grandaughters. They really show who she was.
Two of my favorites are Queen Victoria: A Personal History by Christopher Hibbert and Victoria R. I. by Elizabeth Longford. Both very readable.
