Gr 2-5-- As she did in A Medieval Feast (Crowell, 1983), Aliki draws upon prints and pictures from art history and incorporates facts about real people and places to introduce young people to a high period of Western history. In this case the ``moment'' she recreates is a day at the royal court of Versailles. Pictures of Louis XIV and his court are framed by a narrow gold border; many of the illustrations have inscriptions underneath in the manner of 17th-century engravings. The text, in bolder print, adds facts and explanations to the descriptive pictures. Color is the most striking element in Aliki's drawings. The richness of the king's costumes, his wigs, lace, red stockings, and high- heeled shoes are echoed by the attire of his courtiers. The pictures vary in size and placement, leading readers' eyes through the events of the king's day, from the royal rising ritual to the final ceremonial ``coucher'' or going-to-bed. The spectacular size of the palace of Versailles and the crowded events of court life, all centering on the elaborately costumed figure of Louis XIV, capture the spirit of absolute monarchy in a form that will surely appeal to curious children in this age of democracy and the common man. The book contains a brief chronology and a list of French words, but with no guide to pronunciation. Never mind--it is the pictures that tell the story. --Shirley Wilton, Ocean County College, Toms River, NJ (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

By narrowing her focus to a typical day in Louis the XIV's long reign, Aliki has produced a fascinating presentation of the elaborate rituals which kept the courtiers busy with minutiae while insulating Louis from the masses. The illustrations vary from double-page spreads to a group portrait of the principal players in the court drama. Review, March 1990. (c) Copyright 2010.

Kirkus评论
A simple introduction to one of the most powerful and picturesque of monarchs: Louis XIV, the Sun King who built Versailles in the 17th century and cleverly used the enormous palace to entrap France's potentially dissident nobles. Detailing his extraordinarily formal day, from two-hour public lev‚e to lengthy coucher, Aliki makes clear that life at Versailles was not easy even for Louis, and certainly not for the courtiers who wore required to attend his every move. The author's brief text is considerably amplified in the excellent captions for her attractive, informative illustrations. An authentic, well-balanced portrait.

Gr. 2-5. Once again Aliki works her magic--as she did in A Medieval Feast [BKL O 1 83]-- presenting an in-depth portrait of a fascinating slice of history. This time her subject is Louis XIV of France, about whom little is written for children. Aliki's trademark, writing a simple story in a picture-book format accompanied by elaborate color drawings, allows her books to be read at two different levels. Between each illustration and the straightforward text is a caption that reveals the more-sophisticated details that older readers relish. Children will gain insight into the self-centered complexity of the absolute monarch through the presentation of the elaborate daily rituals of rising, attending mass, eating, holding court, and going to bed. The thousands of servants, the immense meals, and the grandeur of Louis' costumes and palaces, such as Versailles, are aptly depicted in delicate lines and luxurious colors. Both the text and the captions are sprinkled with French words, defined on the last page beneath the chronology of the Sun King's life. --Deborah Abbot
