* FRENCH POLITICS AND CULTURE PING LIST * FREEPMAIL ME IF YOU WANT TO JOIN ***

Maurice Druon is one of my favorite writers. If you love historical fiction, beautifully written, and accurate down to the last detail, you will love LES ROIS MAUDIT or THE CURSED KINGS. The books are available in English.

One of my favorites is THE STRANGLED QUEEN, which takes place in the 13th century.

Strange coincidence.

His historical novel, “The She-Wolf of France” is on my shelf, at the top of my reading list.

For upwards of $100 a volume at abebooks, yes. He's one of the authors I always keep an eye out for at used bookstores. I was fortunate enough to pick up most of Anne Golon's Angelique series in both French and English, so if I ever have the initiative to work my way through all of those, I'll be ready for Druon.
