Mary Stuart - 1587 (Celebrated Crimes Series)

This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumas's work "Mary Stuart". It was first published as part of his eight-volume series "Celebrated Crimes" (1839-40), and recounts the fascinating story of Mary Queen of Scots from her early childhood to her abdication, exile in England, and execution. Told by the master story-teller Alexandre Dumas, it constitutes a thrilling and highly entertaining retelling of the events that is not to be missed by fans and collectors of his seminal 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 decidedly extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing this antiquarian book in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
