These intimate letters of Queen Victoria to her eldest daughter,the Princess Royal, were written during the four years between February 1858 when the young princess married Frederick of Prussia (afterwards German Emperor) and December 1861,when her father,the Prince Consort died.
From this selection,edited by Fulford, emerges a clear picture of family life in Buckingham Palace,Windsor and Berlin,for it also includes many letters from the Princess.The Queen's observations on her children,her anxieties about finding a suitable bride for the Prince of Wales (Edward VII),her disapproval of the 'Victorian Sunday',her references to her beloved Scottish hills and her grief at the death of her mother are some of the many endearing aspects of this exceptionally human correspondence.
