Alexandre Dumas (Author)
Alexander Dumas was born in 1802 at Villes-Cotterets. He received
very little education but when he entered the household of the
future king, Louis-Philippe, he began to read veraciously and then
to write. In 1839 he began writing novels dealing with the wars of
religion and the Revolution, but he is most remembered for his
historical novels, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three
Musketeers.

"I do not say there is no character as well-drawn in Shakespeare
[as D'Artagnan]. I do say there is none that I love so wholly."
