Description
1868 QUEEN VICTORIA 1ed Journal Highlands Scotland England Great Britain Ireland



“Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands, from 1848 to 1861” is a personal account penned by Queen Victoria, detailing her excursions in the Scottish Highlands and other UK regions. Initially intended for private distribution among her family and close associates, the Queen decided to publish it for the wider public, giving them a glimpse into her private moments of leisure away from the burdens of rulership. The work showcases the Queens genuine appreciation for natures beauty, her simple yet picturesque descriptions of landscapes, and her sincere interactions with people from all walks of life. Throughout the book, there is a clear underpinning of Victorias deep gratitude for services and attentions she received, not viewing them as mere obligations due to her royal status, but as genuine acts of kindness.
