Weidenfeld & Nicolson, Upper St Martins Lane, London 2001 Hardcover, 24cms x 16cms (9½" x 6¼"), with dust jacket Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, and usual stamps and stickers. VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket In this stunning biography, Antonia Fraser charts the journey made by this ill-fated Queen. Born in 1755, the fifteenth of sixteen of the Empress of Austria, Marie Antoinette was despatched to France aged fourteen to marry the future Louis XVI. Although she ultimately bore four children, salacious slurs about their parentage and accusations of lesbianism were given credence by the long impotence of the King. This is an utterly riveting and intensely moving book. Highly illustrated
