Elisabeth, or Sisi, really was a famously beautiful woman, and the existing photographs of her show this! Why is the painting of her on the cover making her look like a disgruntled schoolteacher who resembles her own horse? Especially since practically this entire book and almost all of Sisi’s social capital rested on how beautiful she was! Seriously! Too bad I am not a teacher and can’t torture children by going on at length about their wasted potential, like I can with this book!Įlisabeth: The Princess Bride, Austria-Hungary, 1853, Barry Denenberg, 2003.įirst of all, the illustration on this cover is awful. I’ll review this, but I won’t like it, and I’ll complain about it the entire time, because apparently What A Waste Of Potential is my biggest problem.
