INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Lasky, Kathryn

Marie Antoinette: Princess of Versailles

(3) 4-6 Royal Diaries series. In this fictional diary of thirteen-year-old Marie Antonia, Lasky makes good use of detail, incorporating many aspects of everyday life in both the Austrian and French courts as the young archduchess prepares to become the Dauphine of France. Some minor liberties are taken with events, but in general this is an engaging read. Historical notes, a family tree, and black-and-white archival reproductions are appended.
