Any of the novels by Annie Murray are quite descriptive. I also have on my shelf "The People of Lavender Court" by Kathleen Dayus.

Jan, Kathleen Dayus books are very very good,(about 4+) the series told of her life and the family she bought up. But I don't think it was in the Victorian era, more like Edwardian. I did write to her in her latter years when she lived down the Warwick road area Hay Mills way I think, it was along time ago, I wrote to say how wonderful her books were, I think she was in her nineties and this was perhaps 20 years ago. Just a bit of trivia.
