Moi and Marie Antoinette
(Bloomsbury, September 2006), by Lynn Cullen.
Marie Antoinette was one of the most celebrated queens in history… but she was once a little girl, too. As told by her vain but devoted dog, Sebastian, here is the story of the young princess’s life — from her childhood in Austria, to the elaborate preparations leading to her marriage to Louis XVI; from her unhappy rise to power in turbulent times, to the birth of her own children. Lynn Cullen’s spirited text sheds light on a side of Marie Antoinette few have seen — that of a vulnerable young girl thrust into a role much bigger than she could have imagined.
