		Marie Antoinette was the sixteenth and youngest child of Maria Theresa; she was born at Vienna, brought up under a simple and austere regime and educated with a view to the French marriage arranged by Maria Theresa, a certain Abbé Vermond being appointed as her tutor in 1769.
		The death of Maria Theresa (Nov. 29, 1780) deprived her of a wise and devoted friend, and by removing all restraint on the rashness of Joseph II was bound to increase the dislike of the Austrian alliance and cause embarrassment to Marie Antoinette.
		The year 1789 was one of disaster for Marie Antoinette; on March 10, her brother Joseph II died, and on the June 4, her eldest son.

		Marie Antoinette (1755-93) emerges in Fraser's sympathetic portrait as a goodhearted girl woefully undereducated and poorly prepared for the dynastic political intrigues into which she was thrust at age 14, when her mother, Empress Maria Theresa, married her off to the future Louis XVI to further Austria's interests in France.
		From the fabric materials and colours Marie Antoinette prefered, to various accounts reflecting her taste in elegant simplicity, entertainment, beauty and amusement, this book gives the reader a glimpse of what Marie Antoinette was like as a person, a wife, a mother, a friend, and a ruler.
		Her perspective of Marie is similar, to the sympathetic and equally tragic biography of Mary Queen of Scots, another absorbing and thorough study.
