I am interested in reading a good biography of an European queen... and I am considering Marie Antoinette.
Any recommendations?
This is just for fun, by the way. No boring text booky things, please :)
Thanks a Bunch

I haven't read Antonia Fraser's bio of Marie-Antoinette, but I really liked two others of hers, The Wives of Henry VIII and Mary, Queen of Scots, so I would recommend it anyway.

If it existed, I would suggest, " I should have said Pie"
Sorry. Okay I'll give it a serious effort, but I haven't actually read one to suggest.
Marie Antoinette: The Journey by Antonia Fraser
To the Scaffold: The Life of Marie Antoinette by Carolly Erickson
Marie Antoinette: The Portrait of an Average Woman (Grove Great Lives) by Stefan Zweig
Marie Antoinette by Dena Goodman
This one looks good: Marie Antoinette: The Last Queen Of France

The Zweig 'biography' (Pundit Bandit) is great - not boring at all - au contraire!
