Gillian Gill - We Two: Victoria and Albert Rulers, Partners, RivalsConsumer Rating : 
Price Range : $12.10 - $12.10
Gillian Gill's immensely readable dual biography chronicles the life and times of one of history's first power couples, Great Britain's Queen Victoria and her German cousin Prince Albert. The two were quite unalike: Albert was known for his morality, bookishness, and sophisticated love of art and music; the diminutive Victoria was feisty and fun-loving. The unlikely pair, after an early distaste for each other as teenagers, fell in love despite their differences, and jointly became two of the world's most complicated, passionate, and powerful leaders. Gill expertly dispels many of the myths and stereotypes about the monarchs, and provides an insightful and humane look at Victoria and Albert's love and reign. | Merchant Offers |
