I don’t know much about the reign of Queen Victoria, let alone detailed descriptions of the lives of the men who tried to assassinate the Queen. The narrator shared their stories and their motivations, provides important context for what was happening in the UK at the time, and describes the Queen’s reactions to these attempts on her life and the fate of her would-be assassins in a captivating and informative way. I would highly recommend!
