Marie Antoinette "Madame Deficit"
Liz Hockinson, illustrated by Peter Malone

The young, pretty queen who is remembered for supposedly uttering, "Let them eat cake," Marie Antoinette had fun and spent money on beautiful things, while her people starved. But was she as heartless as everyone believed? Gorgeous illustrations and an intelligent, evocative story bring to life a real dastardly dame whose extravagance incited a revolution.
