Dust Jacket Reads: "You can't stop reading it -that is the first thing to say about Madame de Pompadour. This is the biography about a famous Royal Favourite who kept her job for twenty years, and then lost it only by dying. She was very well-read, very well dressed; and Miss Mitford is obviously thrilled by her account. She pours out the story in the highest spirits and at a running pace. The style is exceessively simple, she might be gossiping to a friend on the telephone about something that had amused her the previous night at a party Madame de Pompadour is not only deliciously readable but it is strictly accurate. Miss Mitford's book is far the best account of her that I have read. I recommend it confidently I recomment it confidently. One hardly notices that it is instructive, it is so continuously entertaining.
