{"product_id":"the-queens-necklace-alexandre-dumas-9781473326705","title":"The Queen's Necklace","description":"This antiquarian book contains Alexandre Dumas's 1849 novel, \"The Queen's Necklace\". It is based on a famous case of fraud and royal scandal concerning Marie Antoinette's complicity in a plot to deceive the crown jewellers as to the cost of a diamond necklace, which further spoiled the already-tarnished reputation of the queen. Although seeming to present an idealised picture of Marie Antoinette, it also illustrates the decay and impending decline of the contemporary nobility. A thrilling tale by a master story-teller, \"The Queen's Necklace\" is highly recommended for fans of historical fiction, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. 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 extravagant lifestyle. His novels have been translated into nearly a hundred different languages, and have inspired over 200 motion pictures. We are republishing this antiquarian book in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandre Dumas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473326702\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473326705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e White Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 606\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.35d","brand":"Alexandre Dumas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201894019327,"sku":"9781473326705","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b25cac75-bb7d-479e-8b74-fd215c67663e.jpg?v=1691492045","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-queens-necklace-alexandre-dumas-9781473326705","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
