Thanks for all the references - I'm going to have a great time diving into them!! I can't decide where to start, it's either Queen of Fashion or The Life and Loves of Louis XIV.

I've been using Kobo as my eReader (being from Canada) and I'm just investigating Calibre software to help expand my choices.

Yes, Halard's photos are wonderful, almost the next best thing to being there. In The Private Realm he has quite a few detail shots so if you like looking at all the intricate details this one's for you.

I'm afraid that my contributions to this category are kind of limited so please help me out.

Of course I've read Antonia Fraser's Marie Antoinette: The Journey which inspired the film by Sofia Coppola . Ienjoyed both the movie and the book though they really are two different beasts. I've seen the film a number of times and I can't help focusing most of my attention on the architecture and ignoring the story!



Marie-Antoinette and the Last Garden at Versailles by Christian Duvernois Photographs by Franois Halard is one of my favourite reference books, one that I often quote when writing. It's taught me a lot about the Queen's Estates and I always appreciate Duvernois approach with regard to the character of Marie Antoinette as he takes pains to emphasize her intelligence, social conscience and excellent taste.

The history of France from1638 to 1793isa subject that isverywell covered in our Royal Courts roleplay, from the Sun King Louis XIV , through his great-grandson Louis XV and his grandson Louis XVI . And let's not forget the ladies, Marie Antoinette , Madame Pompadour , the list extends on and on.

I have to admit that I've probably spent more time reading about the art, architecture and gardens of this time period so I'm really looking forward to your biographical recommendations as well as anything else you have discovered and loved!

Thanks Sophia!

I think it's a project that can grow over time here on Royal Courts. I've already got some very interesting references )

Hello Everyone

If I had to guess, I would say that the Royal Courts group contains a lot of avid readers. Whether it's for recreation or research for the latest roleplay I think there is a wealth of knowledge here regarding books that we've read & love so I've created a new Forum Category Book Lovers .

Please feel free to share your favourites!

Thanks

Tatiana

Poor Catherine, seems she was always fighting it out with someone.

An interesting point made byDavid Starkey, Catherine was the most educated of all Henry's wives and did she ever have international connections.

You're most welcome!

I can talk about Anne Boleyn and her daughter Elizabeth "until the cows come home" as they say ) And yes, I'm another one that was hooked on this time period from a very early age.

Now I'll take a break from listing books and go peek at that necklace - lol.
