DESCRIPTION:
There the royals spent as much time as possible, away from the strains of court, enjoying close companionship in the bracing bucolic air. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Publishers Weekly The Duchess of York (Prince Andrew's wife, "Fergie") writes about England's 19th-century rulers not as historical figures but as a loving couple and caring parents. As in other vital areas, Albert took the lead here, finding Osborne House on the Isle of Wight which became the family home. This virtually ideal life was cut short in 1861 by Albert's death at age 41. . This well-written book, telling us much more than has heretofore been known about Prince Albert and his many accomplishments, will have great appeal to a wide audience. Although devastated by her loss, Victoria continued to rule until her death 40 years later. Illustrations not seen by PW. Aided by Stoney, a professional researcher, the author gleaned quotes from journals kept by Victoria du
"This book is a treasure to read and own !!!!" according to A Customer. The Duchess of York has done her finest work in this elegant and collectible book. It contains very carefully documented and well written information on Victoria and Albert's life with their children. The pictures and drawings bring us to another place and time in the grandeur of this Victorian Royal Family. Anyone doing research on Queen Victoria and her family must take a look at this valuable book!!!!. Something to Treasure Christina M. Croft This beautiful book would be worth buying for the photographs and images alone but when combined with the details of Queen Victoria's family at home at Osborne, it is a real treasure.Osborne House has more of a feel of a family home than any other royal residence and even today has the atmosphere of childhood about it. The lovely photographs in this book, showing the little Swiss Cottage and the children's gardens really recapture the sense of the place. Other illustrations of the young princes and princesses are equally engaging. It is a really beautiful boo. Diana Haun said Book,. This book is great, very nice pictures and I just love the store of their home coming together and that this book comes from her note books. The prince did not write that much, but we get to see her home and life through her words.
An insight into the private life of this royal couple, as reflected in the family home they created together.
