"A Friend of Marie-Antoinette (Lady Atkyns)" by Frédéric Barbey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book centers around Lady Atkyns, an Englishwoman who became a devoted friend of the French Queen Marie-Antoinette, particularly during the tumultuous times of the late 18th century. Drawing on previously undiscovered documents, the narrative explores Lady Atkyns' efforts to rescue Marie-Antoinette and her children during their imprisonment, as well as the complexities surrounding the mystery of the Dauphin's fate. At the start of the book, the preface sets the stage by discussing earlier portrayals of Lady Atkyns and her motivations, leading to the exploration of her intense admiration for Marie-Antoinette. The narrative then delves into Atkyns' various attempts to orchestrate the escape of the Queen from prison, using her resources and connections, including navigating the political turmoil of the time and her own feelings of despair as events unfold. As the chapter progresses, the character of Louis de Frotté is introduced, highlighting the intersection of royalist efforts in France and England amidst the backdrop of revolution and the plight of the royal family, signaling the ongoing quest for truth and the struggle to restore order in a chaotic world.
