Title: Sweeping and Engrossing...
Product review: This book was meant to be both standard and quirky history-telling, and the gambit works. It's written in highly themed chapters that sweep the reader along through the full Victorian era. All the well-known totems of the age are here, but so is a full cast of lesser-known and fascinating characters. All the famous, and infamous, episodes of Britain's ascendancy are well and imaginatively told.
