As its subtitle indicates this book is meant to accompany the mini-series "Victoria" now being shown on PBS in the United States. Starring Jenna Coleman, Rufus Sewell, Tom Hughes, and a galaxy of other excellent British performers, "Victoria" covers the early years and the beginning of the reign of Queen Victoria. It is a magnificent production filmed with meticulous attention to sets and costumes. The companion is just as sumptuous, filled with stills of the cast in full costume. But this companion is far more than just a guide to "who plays whom." It includes contemporary prints and paintings of Queen Victoria and her forebears, as well as excerpts from her own diaries and letters. Most importantly, the companion contains superb historical commentaries by Helen Rappaport, a highly regarded historian well known for her twelve books on Victorian England and revolutionary Russia.Queen Victoria might never have been born. Her father was Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, a younger son of King George III who had lived happily with his mistress for many years until 1817 when Princess Charlotte of Wales,at the time the King's only legitimate grandchild, unexpectedly died in childbirth. The necessity for an heir to the throne forced Edward and several of his brothers to abandon their mistresses and make suitable royal marriages. In Edward's case, his bride was a widowed German princess named Victoria who came from a large but impecunious family that ruled the small duchy of Saxe-Coburg. In May 1819 Victoria gave birth to a daughter who was named for her. In early 1820 the Duke of Kent suddenly died and his widow and small child were left alone at Kensington Palace, disliked and distrusted by the rest of the Royal Family. In such circumstances it was not surprising that the Duchess of Kent came under the influence of unscrupulous advisers like Sir John Conroy, and that the young Princess Victoria led a lonely childhood, depending on her German governess Baroness Lehzen for emotional support and friendship.Fortunately the young Princess was intelligent and self-reliant. As a teenager she faced down Sir John Conroy's attempts to dominate her, and when she succeeded to the throne in June 1837 at age 18 she was quick to take command. She removed herself from her mother's orbit by taking up residence in Buckingham Palace, formed a strong friendship with her first prime minister Viscount Melbourne, and established herself as a powerful voice in Government. She made many missteps, becoming overly infatuated with Melbourne and refusing to accept the realities of parliamentary politics, was involved in a sordid whispering campaign against one of her mother's ladies-in-waiting who appeared to be pregnant but was actually mortally ill, and was booed and hissed in public.One of Victoria's most important duties was to marry and produce children. She had two British cousins of suitable age, Prince George of Cumberland and Prince George of Cambridge, but fancied neither them nor a son of the King of Holland. She was tempted by the visiting Grand Duke Alexander of Russia, but eventually she was steered towards two German cousins, Princes Ernest and Albert of Saxe-Coburg, by her uncle King Leopold of the Belgians. As the television series depicts, Victoria's interest in and opinion of her cousins was mercurial and at first dismissive, but eventually she fell deeply and permanently in love with Prince Albert. They married in early 1840 and produced their first child, a daughter, later that year.That's where both the series and this companion end. The companion contains a great deal of interesting commentary from Rappaport, not only on the characters themselves but on Victoria's dog Dash, her wedding cake, and even the royal wet nurse. The commentary should deepen viewers' interest in many of the characters, such as the Duchess of Sutherland and Lord Alfred Paget, who are seen only briefly in the series but who Rappaport reveals to have been intelligent and multi-faceted people in their own rights. There is a final section dealing with the making of theseries, showing some of the sets and featuring stills from the production.This book is a well designed and scholarly work which will satisfy not only fans of the series but serious students of Queen Victoria's reign as well.

Beautiful photos of the PBS series and its actors. Gorgeously put together. The book is a testament to the series which I LOVE. However.... if you want to learn about the life and times of Victoria, this is not the book. There is a nice family pedigree and pictures of buildings where scenes were shot for the series, but little otherwise beyond what is in the series. I was disappointed that the book had little additional detail.

A beautiful hardback thick book!!! My daughter loves the show and this book was a must for her!! I like that it includes so much history and pictures of actual letters written by Victoria.

This series has great characters and character development. The stories are good and getting better. It feels authentic to the time period. The whole family loves it! This book has a short bio of each character. It has some cool snippets of actual letters from Queen Victoria. Great way to teach the kids some history in a way that isn't too dry and boring.

Watching the Masterpiece Theater production of Victoria made me curious about Queen Victoria and her life. This book identifies what is accurate and what was added for interest. It includes copies of Victoria's letters and describes the many people in her life. I recommend it.

This book is EXCELLENT! I loved the Masterpiece series and had just finished reading Victoria-the Queen by Julia Baird, which went more in depth about Victoria from her birth up to her death. I decided to buy this book also and discovered has a lot of interesting information about the Queen and her life. The end of the month I'm going to MegaCon in Orlando and hope to have Ms. Coleman autograph it for me!

Also bought this book for my wife as a present. She loved it. I should note that my wife is a librarian and reads as well as rates a lot of books. For her to give this an excellent rating is significant.

Beautiful book, love the photographs and the old pictures that go with the modern photos. Beautiful cover jacket and great information, not an overload of history for the type of book that it is. If you like the BBC series buy the book you will learn more about the people in the series.Daunn Munn
