But it soon became more than a passion to him--it turned into an obsession, and the closer he got to Versailles, the further he drifted from his family and himself.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"This graphic novel is beautifully rendered in ink and pencil and will delight any history buff or art lover."-- "LIBRARY JOURNAL"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>After studying contemporary history and experience in journalism, Maïté Labat worked 8 years at the Palace of Versailles. It is from this experience that her desire to tell the story of <i>Versailles: My Father's Castle</i>, was born. Maïté works today at the Louvre Museum. <p/>Jean-Baptiste Veber caught the writing bug at the age of 10 years old, and hasn't found a cure yet... He is the author of several novels including <i>Igor à l'étroit</i> and <i>Ragots de lapin</i>. <p/>An illustrator, painter, watercolorist and 3D graphic designer, Alexis Vitrebert has many artistic talents, engaging in projects ranging from frescoes to posters.
