I have recently watched the movie Young Victoria, and though I have mixed feelings about the movie itself, it did peek my interest more upon the subject.

Though I am fairly well familiar with the Victorian Age, I do not really know all that much about Victoria herself and I am interested in any books which may have been written about her.

I would be particularly interested in any novels which may have been written about her, if indeed there are any.

It's been years since I've read them, but I really liked the books by Jean Plaidy when I was younger. As a bit of a history lover, I got so much information in novel form from her series on the lives of the British monarchy, spanning centuries. Obviously, I don't know if I would enjoy them as much now, but at the time they were a good introduction to understanding who was who and what happened.

She may seem a little dated now, but she obviously researched well.

Looks like she has a lot of interesting series and I love HF I will have to keep an eye out for her bools.
