Who Was... series

This is the story of a rector's daughter who triumphed over unrequited love and family tragedy to take her place as one of the world's most popular writers.

Victoria was just 18 years old when she was crowned Queen in 1837 - a tiny figure, with a will of iron. Never was there so queenly a queen. She made Britain great and the people loved her for it. In 1861 tragedy struck, when her husband Albert died. Dumb with grief, she hid herself away. Could anyone persuade her to be Queen again?
