Ms. Nicholson deftly gathers some thiry years of diaries, letters and clippings and knowlegly weaves them into the great and small events in victorian england. Marion Sanborne, wife of Linley Sanborne the Punch illustrater, began a diary in 1881 and through it you get an understanding of what life was like for a woman who was neither famous or infamous. Fasinating insights into daily life. Visitors to London can visit her preserved home which houses the England Victorian Society.
