Queen Victoria: Her Life and Times, volume I 1819-1861 by Woodham-Smith, Cecil - 1972

Hamish Hamilton, London, 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Various. XII, 486 pages, colour frontispiece, 24 pages of black-and-white close relations, appendices, chapter notes, index. Illustrated dust jacket. The only damage to the book would appear to be the price-clipping of the front fold over flap, and a pale brown mark on the verso of the dedication page [a blank page]. The peculiar merit of the volume is to carry with it a sense of intimacy. It is impossible to read it through without feeling one knows the Queen well and sympathising closely with her, more closely perhaps, than one had ever dreamed possible. -- dustwrapper blurb.
