Description

Queen Victoria's Bathing Machine by Gloria Whelan is a true story about an inventive solution to a royal problem. Queen Victoria loved swimming, but her modesty concerns made it difficult for her to enjoy the water without her subjects seeing her swimwear. Prince Albert came up with a creative solution to this issue, inventing a bathing machine that allowed the monarch to bathe in private. This quirky tale reveals an overlooked splash of history and includes a picture of the actual bathing machine created by Prince Albert. The book offers a fun and authentic look at Queen Victoria's life, making it an interesting read for those who enjoy true stories about royalty and their inventions.
