A seamless blend of fact and fiction, 'The Royal Life Guard, or The Flight of the Royal Family' tells the story of the downfall of the French Monarchy. Set during the French Revolution, this novel paints Marie Antoinette as the villain of the piece. By comparison, King Louis XIV is depicted as an accommodating monarch with his people's interests at heart. Historians will know the outcome of this thrilling tale but, even so, will find it fast-paced and brimming with intrigue and conspiracy.The adventure-packed narrative is supported by historical observations and Dumas' rapier-sharp political knowledge. A superb read for those new to his work and for those who want to read beyond the romantic romps of 'The Three Musketeers.'-

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas was born July 24, 1802, at Villiers-Cotterets, France, the son of Napoleon's famous mulatto general, Dumas.

Alexandre Dumas began writing at an early age and saw his first success in a play he wrote entitled Henri III et sa Cour (1829). A prolific author, Dumas was also an adventurer and took part in the Revolution of 1830.

Dumas is most famous for his brilliant historical novels, which he wrote with collaborators, mainly Auguste Maquet, and which were serialized in the popular press of the day.

His most popular works are The Three Musketeers (1844), The Count of Monte Cristo (1844-45), and The Man in Iron Mask (1848-50). Dumas made and lost several fortunes, and died penniless on December 5, 1870.
