Chicot the Jester, E-bok

Every King needs a wily advisor. For Henry III of France, it’s Chicot the Jester. Quick witted and a pro at manipulation, Chicot must use all his skills to keep the King (and himself) at the top. The second of Dumas’ Valois Romances , this novel continues the saga of the powerful Valois dynasty. Intertwined with Chicot’s story is that of Bussy d Amboise, a gentleman who has fallen for a married woman. With these parallel plotlines, Dumas offer up plenty of cliffhangers, political skullduggery, and secret assignations. Chicot the Jester is a great read for fans of courtly intrigue, such as Netlix’s The Crown or Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall trilogy.Alexandre Dumas (1802 - 1870) was a hugely popular 19th Century French writer. Born of mixed French and Haitian heritage, Dumas first rose to prominence in Paris as a playwright, but later gained international fame with his historical fiction. Often co-authored with other writers, these stories wove together swashbuckling adventure, romance, and real events from France’s past. Among the best known are The Three Musketeers , and its sequels Twenty Years After , and Le Vicomte de Bragelonne: Ten Years Later . Set across four decades, this trilogy follows the rise of the dashing D’Artagnan—from hot-headed soldier to trusted captain under Louis XIV.Dumas’ other novels include The Count of Monte Cristo and The Black Tulip . His works have been adapted into more than 200 movies, including The Man in the Iron Mask starring Leonardo DiCaprio. EPUB3: Reflowable
