From the front flap, " They were the charmed circle of seventeenth-century France, the 'precious few' who knew the secret of perfect feminine grace. Their special magic lay in a self-led mystique that came to be called 'preciosite' - a blend of other- worldliness and pampered fragility, artfulness and literary pretension."
