In the original French. The journals of Jeanne-Louise-Henriette Campan. Jeanne-Louise-Henriette Campan, born Henriette Genet was a French educator and lady-in-waiting to Queen Marie Antoinette before and during the French Revolution. At the age of fifteen she could speak English and Italian, and had gained so high a reputation for her accomplishments as to be appointed reader to the three daughters of Louis XV. At court she was a general favourite, and was appointed first lady of the bedchamber by Marie Antoinette. She continued to be her faithful attendant until she was forcibly separated from her at the storming of the Tuileries on 10 August 1792. Madame Campan survived the dangers of the Terror and started a school, dying in 1822. CONDITION Rebacked in a half calf binding with marbled paper to the boards. Externally, generally smart.

Very speedy delivery and extremely well packaged. The book is in wonderful condition for age, better I think than described. This now sits alongside a companion volume, another work of Worcestershire historian and antiquarian, John Noak. I very much looking forward to reading it. As for price, I snatched the offer and am extremely pleased that I did. This seller is a perfect find on eBay and I would purchase from them without hesitation, saved seller, excellent.
