Fiction for Victoria Day
Queen Victoria inherited the throne on June 20 1837 when she was 18 years old and remained monarch until her death in 1901. It was the longest reign in the history of the British monarchy and the longest reign by a female monarch in history. The years of her reign coincided with a period of great cultural, political, industrial and scientific change.
As if her actual life wasn't busy enough, Queen Victoria lives on as a fictional character in a wide range of novels which include standard historical fiction, crime and fanciful speculative fiction novels.
