[Jane · Rating 5 out of 5]

However many "serious" books I read about the Victorian age, I always enjoy well-written pictorial books like this. If you need an introduction to the Victorian era that you can read in about half an hour, this one will fit the bill nicely; for the more knowledgeable reader it's a nice breeze through the main points of Queen Victoria's reign and the changes in British society during her lifetime. Superficial, of course--what can you expect in 28 pages?--but no worse for that.

Very nice and informative.

[Ocean G · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably good to read through before watching a movie or reading a book that takes place in Victorian England.

[Hannah Akers · Rating 2 out of 5]

Highly patriotic and whitewashed, probably due to the time of publishing.
