If people think the past is dull they haven't seen this book yet. It's witty, anarchic, full of cartoons and jokes. And amidst the fun there are loads of interesting facts about the life and times of Victorians. History has never been such a laugh. Did you know: Victoria's first name was Alexandria and her first language was German. She had a huge handbag with a picture of a poodle on it. Victoria wore only black for 30 years. She wore her white wedding veil in her coffin.
