masks

Those of you who are long suffering readers of this blog may remember that when I started I was reading The Count of Monte Cristo. It was soooo good that I am now on my 3rd book by Dumas (the father), The Man in the Iron Mask. I've only just begun but already I'm sucked in by the complex intrigue. The main character appears to be the unknown twin brother of the king, kept hidden from all in a remote country house and now imprisoned in the Bastille. Aramis, of Three Musketeers fame, has just revealed to him his true identity and of course they are about to hatch a plot. Watch this space for further updates.
