“...these journals offer us so many insights into the paraphernalia that accompanied the royal progress north... Virginia McKenna reads beautifully.” Sunday Times

“This quirky and vivid aural tapestry is jam-packed with sound effects... and is further enhanced by McKenna’s genteel narration.” Scotland on Sunday

“A chronicle of life at Balmoral, both before and after Prince Albert’s death. Very effectively read by Virginia McKenna.” Sunday Telegraph

Succeeding William IV in 1837, Victoria reigned for nearly 64 years and was always a keen chronicler of life around her, through both her paintings and the detailed diary she kept from the age of 13.

Queen Victoria’s Highland Journals cover the period from 1848 to 1882 and provide a fascinating insight into those long “never-to-be-forgotten days” she spent with her family in her much beloved Scottish Highlands.

Published privately for her family and a few close friends, the Queen was persuaded by a close relative to reissue the journal for the pleasure of her subjects where it became an immediate bestseller.

The Highland Journals are gentle and unpretentious with a fascinating attention to detail, giving the listener a rare opportunity to hear the thoughts and reflections of the wife and mother who wore the Imperial Crown.

Also available as part of the CLASSIC LETTERS & JOURNALS BOX SET, a seven-volume edition. The Letters & Journals of Lord Nelson with CHARLES DANCE OBE The Letters of Charlotte Bronte with IMOGEN STUBBS Scott of the Antarctic with EDWARD FOX OBE The Highland Journals of Queen Victoria with VIRGINIA McKENNA OBE The Letters of Lord Byron with ROBERT POWELL The Letters of Jane Austen with FIONA SHAW CBE The Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth with JENNY AGUTTER OBE
