Hey, this is good news: Alexandre Dumas has a new historical fiction novel coming out soon. And you thought dead authors told no more tales. I also found out from the yahoonews article that Dumas produced more than 250 works, plays, novels, and even a cookbook.
I got the tip on this new/old novel from Phil, blogging at Collected Miscellany. This Phil is the same Phil who may or may not have leased his blog, Brandywine Books, to the very much alive author Lars Walker, whose books, The Year of the Warrior and Erling’s World (based on Scandinavian history) I would like to read but can’t because my library system doesn’t own them and I’m too poor (or cheap) to buy them. However, Phil (go way back to the beginning of the last sentence) still blogs at Brandywine Books sometimes and at Collected Miscellany, and I like reading Mr. Walker’s contributions, so everything is copacetic, as they used to say in days gone past.
I wonder if I could find Dumas’s cookbook at my library?
