Like other books in this 'heritage history' series, The Victorian Era in Europe - Age of Empires - for Kids presents the events of mid-to-late 19th century European history through biographies of its royals, rebels, and empire-builders in a story-telling format.


Dusty volumes, published in the days when history-teaching wasn't reduced to 'social studies, ' overflow with historical anecdotes and details that would make our kids smile, and add a memorable 'human' touch to blunders, crimes, and victories of bygone eras' stars and villains. So, I spent a good year plowing through 19th and early 20th century biographical tomes, periodicals, and vintage childrens' histories, to translate a vast volume of stories and reports into narratives that can engage today's kids and teens. I tossed out exhaustive battle descriptions and analyses of dynastic feuds and politics to which our kids can't relate. I kept stories entertaining enough to bring to life the complex era that gave us phones, subways, and diamond engagement rings, along with Marxism, terrorism, the 'white man's burden, ' and hundreds of thousands of long-lost graves of those who fell in brutal colonial and European imperial wars. As always, this book presents only historical facts and reports (no embellishment, fiction, or opinions of any kind) and stays firmly on track with kid-appropriate, family-friendly content.
