Good bio of an interesting man. If this period of time is of any interest to you, this is worthwhile reading. Presents some good insight into the good and bad of Albert Edward. On balance, I think he was a good king who generally improved his nation and moved it forward in a positive way. This is particularly evident when he is compared to his peers in the monarch club of the time.
