Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
Queen Victoria had forty-two grandchildren but, after the sudden death of her daughter Alice, the Queen took an obsessive interest in the marriage prospects of the four girls their mother had left behind.
This fascinating, well-researched, intimate biography of Queen Victoria’s four Hesse granddaughters draws upon extracts from letters, photos and personal accounts.
The four girls were all married into prestigious European dynasties and this book takes them through love, conflict, revolution and tragedy, all set against the backdrop of early 20th-century turmoil when the sisters often found themselves on opposing sides.

Change Lives With Your Shopping
Your purchase can help to end leprosy. Shopping with us will help fund leprosy research which is vital to ending leprosy transmission by 2035. Recent developments in genotyping strains of leprosy have improved accuracy of finding the source of transmission, meaning tracking and tracing of cases can be much more effective. There is also a PCR test for leprosy being developed which would be a game changer in faster and more accurate diagnosis of leprosy.
