The Knight of Maison-Rouge - first US edition
by Alexandre Dumas
Subtitled, 'A novel of Marie Antoinette", this is a new English translation
of a Dumas classic tale taking place in Paris in 1793 at the onset of the
Terror. The last US edition of this title was published in 1906, and this
translation if much superior.
The first four books in the series are also well worth your time...but they may
be a little difficult to track down. They are (in order): "Memoirs of a
Physician", "The Queen's Necklace", "Ange Pitou", "Countess De Charny" and
finally "The Knight of Maison-Rouge."
Book is fully cloth-bound, with the title in gold on the spine; 448 pages with
dimensions (in inches) of 0.96 x 8.26 x 5.40.
