Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bristling with political plots, secret assignations, daring escapes, duels, surprising alliances and betrayals, Dumas orchestrates two plotlines to come together in a very scene-driven, absolutely over-the-top novel. The title character isn't a jester in the way we use the term today; instead Chicot is King Henri III's advisor with the advantage of being able to speak truth to power. And that power is in jeopardy from within his family and without. Chicot must use all his wiles to keep Henri out of trouble and himself in the position of the real King of France. Against him is the powerful house of de Guise whose head is also the leader of the Catholic League; the King's brother the Duc d'Angou and the leader of the Huguenot faction, King Henry of Navarre. The other principal player is the brave Bussy, or the Comte de Bussy who is allied with the Duc d'Angou. He upsets the King's minions and while escaping their trap he encounters a strange lady in a strange house and thinks it all a dream until he meets the real lady and falls in love. Tragically she's been tricked into marrying the scheming Comte Monsoreau, chief huntsman to the King and who will do anything to keep his wife away from any man who so much as looks at her. Monsoreau isn't his only worry though; the Duc d'Angou also wants the lovely Diana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chicot the Jester On Shrove Sunday, in the year 1578, after the popular carnival, and while the echoes of the merry day were dying down in the streets, a splendid entertainment was about to begin in the magnificent mansion which the noble family of Montmorenqy, a family allied to royalty, and on an equality with princely houses, had just built on the other side of the Seine, almost opposite the Louvre. This private feast formed part of the celebrations in connection with the marriage of Francis d'Epinay de Saint-Luc, a great friend of King Henri III., and one of his chief favourites, and of Jeanne de Cosse-Brissac, a daughter of a French marfechal of that name. The wedding feast itself had been served in the Louvre earlier in the day, and the King, who had but grudgingly given his consent to the marriage, had indeed appeared at the banquet, but with severe looks, and demeanour sadly out of keeping with the occasion. His dress, moreover, harmonised with his countenance. He wore that dark brown suit in which Clouet depicts him as a guest at the wedding of Joyeuse. This royal spectre, with aspect so grave, had petrified every one with fear, more especially the young bride, on whom the King frowned whenever she glanced in his direction. Still, this sternness, in the midst of the joyful feast, surprised nobody, for its cause was one of those court secrets which are cautiously handled by every one, like rocks on the surface of the water, which one touches at the risk of being broken to pieces. The meal was hardly over, when Henri rose, and every one naturally followed his example, even some who declared in an undertone their wish to remain at the table. Saint-Luc, glancing at his wife as though he would seek courage from her, approached the King and said, 'Sire, will your Majesty honour me by your presence at the entertainment which I wish to give in Montmorency House to-night.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the court of King Henri III Valois, ever swarming with rebellion and intrigue, the reckless and honourable Comte de Bussy, one of the nobles of the King's brother le Duc d'Anjou, incurs the wrath of the King's minions. To escape the trap they set for him, he bursts into the house that happens to be behind him, the door of which is miraculously open. Wounded, he faints, and does not know that a doctor is secretly summoned to treat him. When he recovers, he finds himself far away from this house, yet he remembers, as in a dream, the face of a woman lovelier than any he'd ever seen. Convinced that the face is real, he sets out to find the house. He meets the doctor, who is also intrigued by the secrecy, and together they find the correct door. Thus, Bussy accidentally finds out the drama that goes on within the house, and the touching and hopeless story of Diana, la Dame de Monsoreau. Guided by his overpowering love, he offers her his protection against the malicious and wild jealousy of her husband, against the lust of the traitorous Duc d'Anjou, and against the coldness of rest of the world. The love of Bussy and Diana flourishes against the background of the civil unrest in France. Their story, the story of the King and his only friend the Jester Chicot, mingle and intertwine with the other stories of love, friendship, hate, and treachery, which bring the book to the dramatic and irrevocable climax.--Submitted by Eugenie Isabelle
