Columbus Author Will Bashor Signs New Book at Buckeye Book Fair

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Oct. 3, 2014 - PRLog -- Will Bashor, author of “Marie Antoinette’s Head: The Queen, the Royal Hairdresser, and the Revolution” (Lyons Press), will sign his biography at the 27th Annual Buckeye Book Fair, Wooster, Ohio on November 1, 2014. His biography has been pitched as “The Devil Wears Prada” comes to Versailles.

Marie Antoinette has remained atop the popular cultural landscape for centuries for the daring in style and fashion that she brought to 18th century France. For the better part of the queen’s reign, one man was entrusted with the sole responsibility of ensuring that her coiffure was at its most ostentatious best. Who was this minister of fashion who wielded such tremendous influence over the queen’s affairs?

Winner of the Adele Mellen Prize for Distinguished Scholarship, Marie Antoinette’s Head: The Royal Hairdresser, The Queen, and the Revolution charts the rise of Leonard Autie from humble origins as a country barber in the south of France to the inventor of the Pouf and premier hairdresser to Queen Marie-Antoinette.
