As a book designer and publisher, one of my favorite things about Alexandre Dumas is his ingenuity when it comes to chapter titling. This is escpecially noteworthy in writing The d’Artagnan Romances. His titles never fail to entertain, foreshadow, and tease the reader to want more!

And yet again, Alexandre Dumas brings us a beautifully written series in The Valois Romances, a remarkable hidden gem!
Although not as renowned as The Three Musketeers, this series is equally matched in action, mystery, humor, and—of course—full of romance.
Alexandre Dumas based many of his books off of real life characters and historical events. He often worked with scholar and historian, Auguste Maquet, when writing his books to give them an authentic feel from the historic period.
If you are not reading Dumas yet, you should be!
