Another by Alexandre Dumas

I was interested in reading another of Alexandre Dumas' historical novels after we read La Reine Margot in October. I didn't think I had the time to delve into the 700+ pages of The Count of Monte Cristo (maybe someday), and I wasn't particularly interested in the swashbuckling tales of The Three Musketeers. But I came across The Black Tulip on Amazon, and not only did it have good reviews, but it was under 300 pages, and it was set in Holland (which is fitting for many who live in West Michigan)! I enjoyed this little novel much more than La Reine Margot, and you can read my summary and review here. My local library had this wonderful old copy with such a charming cover ~
