Summary "A Queen of Tears, vol. 1 of 2" by W. H. Wilkins is a historical biography written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life of Caroline Matilda, the Queen of Denmark and Norway, and sister of King George III of England, examining the dramatic and often tragic events of her life, including her marriage to Christian VII and her relationship with her Prime Minister, Struensee. The opening of the work sets the stage for the life of Caroline Matilda, detailing her birth into the royal family of Great Britain and the circumstances of her father’s death shortly before her arrival. The narrative provides insight into her upbringing, her personality qualities inherited from her father, and establishes the historically overlooked significance of her life and her untimely end, which earned her the title "Queen of Tears." Wilkins is on a quest to shed light on this often forgotten figure, offering a mix of personal anecdotes and accessible historical accounts that aim to revive her story in the memory of readers.
