The titular characters refer to Henry II¿s lover, Diana de Poitiers, and her daughter, Diana de Castro. This thrilling story is highly recommended for fans of historical fiction, and constitutes a must-read for those who have read and enjoyed any of Dumas¿s work. Alexandre Dumas (1802¿1870) 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 two hundred motion pictures. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive. We are republishing this classic book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
