A-HA!! A fellow dorktician
! I just love it, it's so interesting and its pace is really great and doesn't get bogged down. A couple other "bio" type books of this time that I really enjoyed were "Marie Antoinette: The Journey" and "The Duchess of Devonshire" - really interesting as well.
Then I have about 6 or 8 books I've read that are about "life" in the 17th/18th century - those books cover culture, society, customs, etiquette, courting, food, servants, economy, etcetera - LOVE it! It's just so interesting to get a peek at how people really used to conduct their lives.
