""Queen Victoria, Her Girlhood And Womanhood"" is a biography written by Grace Greenwood. The book chronicles the life of Queen Victoria, from her childhood to her reign as Queen of England.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of England and the monarchy, as well as those interested in the life of one of the most influential women of the 19th century.She quietly persevered in the ""progresses"" which annoyed the irascible and unreasonable old King, even visiting the Isle of Wight, though the royal big guns were forbidden to ""pop"" at sight of the royal standard, which waved over her, and the young hope of England. Perhaps recollections of those pleasant visits with her mother at Norris Castle have helped to render so dear the Queen's own beautiful sea-side home, Osborne House. I remember a pretty little story, told by a tourist, who happened to be stopping at the village of Brading during one of those visits to the lovely island.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
