I read this just after Court Lady and Country Wife, which helped give this book some background in events. It was a fascinating look at how Louis XIV build Versailles and all the personalities at court at the time. The illustrations are incredible, too. This was published in 1966, and the writing style was also of interest; Mitford was downright chatty and witty at times. Marvelous work.
