Though there are numerous biographies available on Marie Antoinette, this is a good introduction for general readers. A sympathetic reassessment of France's ill-fated Hapsburg queen, Haslip (The Lonely Empress, etc.) focuses on her subject's early years. The author attributes Marie Antoinette's failures to inexperience, the ineptitude of her husband both pawns in the Franco-Austrian alliance a flighty, naive though generous nature, ill-suited to cope with the intrigues of a corrupt court under the sway of Louis XV's mistress DuBarry.

For local pick up, this item is in North Huntington Beach (area code 92649). I can also meet along the 405 Freeway between Huntington Beach and LAX.
