註釋

"Alan Hardy reveals the gayer, light-hearted side of the Queen in all its facets. Here are funny stories (many of them risqué) and incidents which appealed to Victoria, the lighter moments she and Prince Albert shared, her love of slapstick and jokes, her passion for dancing and theatricals, and her constant delight in children and their entertainments... Moveover, we see a Queen who, rather than setting the tone of the age which bears her name, unwillingly complied with the taboos of the time. Her outspoken assessment of character and her unorthodox views on such subjects as servants and sex, her intense enjoyment of simple things that left other people cold, her normally uninhibited zest for life- all make this a convincing and unusual portrait"--from front jacket flap.
