Originally published in 1897, this personal look at Queen Victoria by a member of her household staff is described by the author: "I leave to others to depict the incidents in a reign as grand in war, as glorious in peace, and as golden in art, literature, and science, as that of either Her Majestys predecessors, Queen Elizabeth or Queen Anne. My concern is merely with the petty personal details of the greatest woman of her time, who, when as a small child of twelve she first heard of her proximity to the throne, merely held out her little hand, and said, I will be good!"Chapters cover the Queens private suite at Windsor, friends, pastimes, dancing, fads and fancies, walks, rides and drives, pets, reading preferences, writing, music and art, charities, gardens, housekeeping, food and drink, and similar topics.
