Versailles, Hardcover by Christopher Hibbert, Editors Of Newsweek Illustrated with Color and BW photographs. Includes Chronology of French History, Family Tree of the Royal Houses of France, Guide to the Chateaux of France, and a Selected Bibliography. Hardcover- 176 pages I embarked upon Hibbert's Versailles immediately after returning from a trip to France in which we had visited the palace. I loved the book! It recounts the history of the chateau, the details of its construction through various phases, and engineering problems such as that of bringing in tremendous amounts of water to power the massive fountains. It describes the incredible costs in labor and national resources to create what is now one of France's premier national treasures. But the book was perhaps even more interesting in its tales of the the huge courtly community and the monarchs they served. Included are the abundant romantic intrigues Minor wear to dust jacket. Slight yellowing to edges. Binding good
