This is a fun, quirky audiobook that was a free download from Audible in November. It is narrated by Stephen Fry (hence the title) in his best upper crust English. Each chapter covers a different category of "secrets" of the outwardly straight-laced Victorian life. Included are juicy tidbits about death and dying, mental illness, pornography, toilets, secret societies, drug use, seances, sex, and more which prove that the Victorians were not as stodgy as they seem.
