ISBN-10: 0448483106 Language: English Synopsis: From the palaces of Austria to the mirrored halls of Versailles, Marie Antoinette led a charmed life. She was born into royalty in 1755 and married the future king of France at age 15. By 21 she ascended to the throne and enjoyed a lavish lifestyle of masquerade balls, sky-high wigs, and extravagant food. But her taste for excess ruffled many feathers. The poor people of France blamed Marie Antoinette for their poverty. Her spending helped incite the French Revolution. And after much public outcry, in 1793 she quite literally lost her head because of it. Whether she was blameless or guilty is debatable, but Marie Antoinette remains woven into the fabric of history and popular culture. brand: Penguin Young Readers Group Item Length: 7.6 in gtin13: 9780448483108 Intended Audience: Juvenile Audience Publisher: Penguin Young Readers Group ISBN-13: 9780448483108 Number of Pages: 112 Pages Topic: Biography & Autobiography / Women, History / Europe, Biography & Autobiography / Royalty, People & Places / Europe Item Width: 5.3 in Genre: Juvenile Nonfiction LC Classification Number: DC137.1.R38 2015 Item Weight: 4.3 Oz Grade From: Third Grade Author: Dana Meachen Rau, Who HQ Dewey Edition: 23
