Elisabeth: The Princess Bride, Austria - Hungary, 1853 by Barry Denenberg

3.0

Read this with my young niece to give her an idea of what it's really like to be royalty and how the barbie-fantasy of wanting to be a princess/empress usually glosses over a lot of details. My niece is very Sissi-esque, and this short little book made her feel grateful for all the freedom our times have accorded her. She had never heard of Austria nor Hungary before we started reading, so it made for an interesting social studies lesson as well.
