As a little girl in Austria, Marie Antoinette had nothing more stressful to think about than what to eat next. When she was just a little older she was taken to France to marry the future king, and life became a lot more serious! Relishing the details of courtly life and narrating the pressures of becoming one of the world's most famous - and infamous - queens, this delightful and beautiful book brings a real historical figure to life.
