Jean Plaidy THE QUEEN'S HUSBAND, Pan Books, 1982. Softcover in very good condition, 366 pages. The Fourth book in the Victorian Saga. From the time they were in their cradles, Victoria and Albert were destined for each other. The passive Albert was well aware that marriage to a quick tempered, demonstrative young woman like Victoria could result in unnecessary scenes and stormy court feuds. And he was right. The Victorian age was truly under way - but the real power behind the throne was The Queen's Husband.
