​Who was Marie Antoinette?

• A young girl living a royal life in Austria.
• A teenager who married the future King of France.
• A fashionable queen who lost her head.
• Or all of the above?

 
Meet the real Marie in a fun AND exciting biography that shows you some real historical details, like the pouf on top of her head. Some were three feet high (one yardstick), could last a week, AND trap lice. WOW! But, you had trouble sleeping with all that hair on top of your head, AND you had to sit on the floor of your carriage. Sounds unfashionable, AND silly to me!
