Vignettes from the Reign of Vickie

This is the book I have been reading recently, loaned by a friend who found it amongst her family's treasures. It was published in 1886 and reads like a newspaper of the time, telling stories many and varied. It describes the coronation of Queen Victoria, fighting in Afghanistan (yes, it was happening back then too), riots by the Chartists, and the death of Charles Dickens. A fascinating look at another time - another world.
