5.0 out of 5 stars Learned, gentle, and hilarious social history of France, 16 Jul 1999
By A Customer
The Queen of Sweden was reputed to have the most beautiful hands in Europe, and Madame de Montespan thought she would get a chance to evaluate them when the Queen came to dine, since the fork had not yet arrived at the King's table in the seventeenth century. Unfortunately the Queen's hands were, when spotted dipping into the soup, so covered with dirt that their form could not be ascertained....

This book is one charming little anecdote after another, just like this one. It's hilarious -- you should read it!
