Although a work of fiction the book is filled with historical detail and it covers in great detail the Georgian and Victorian eras, up to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II.
It also examines in part two the Kings of England and of Denmark.
Queen Victoria is looked at in great detail. Under the reign of Queen Victoria, England, argues Trisha Hughes, achieved a rank on the international stage that it had never aspired to previously.
She also touches on another Queen of equal greatness, Queen Elizabeth II. She also indicates that the Prince Phillip her "Stalwart and loyal" husband also has a strong Viking heritage.
Although written as a work of fiction I would heartily recommend this book to any students of history as you will find that Trisha Hughes as already done all the work for you. But if you quote from her work, do remember to properly cite it!
It's published by The Book Guild at £8.99.
