This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumass 1849 novel, "The Queens Necklace". It is based on a famous case of fraud and royal scandal concerning Marie Antoinettes complicity in a plot to deceive the crown jewellers as to the cost of a diamond necklace, which further spoiled the alreadytarnished reputation of the queen. Although seeming to present an idealised picture of Marie Antoinette, it also illustrates the decay and impending decline of the contemporary nobility. A thrilling tale by a master storyteller, "The Queens Necklace" is highly recommended for fans of historical fiction, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Alexandre Dumas (18021870) was a famous French writer. He is best remembered for his exciting romantic sagas, including "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo". Despite making a great deal of money from his writing, Dumas was almost perpetually penniless thanks to his extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. We are republishing this antiquarian book in an affordable, modern, highquality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
