HAVE YOU EVER IMAGINED what it would be like to visit the Victorian era?

Drawing on a wide range of sources, this book blends accurate historical details with compelling stories to bring the period to life. A must-read for seasoned social history fans, costume drama lovers, history students and anyone with an interest in the nineteenth century.
