Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by Frederic Leighton, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Paul Delaroche. Six of the Celebrated Crimes - Mary Stuart and the murder of Darnley, the Marquise de Brinvilliers and her poisons, Urbain Grandier burned for bewitching a convent, Ali Pacha, Martin Guerre, the countess of Saint-Géran. Dumas took real trials from the archives and told them as narrative; the Borgias and Cenci volumes are the famous ones, these are the rest. Fifty-eight plates, among them Delacroix and Turner, carry the storm, the scaffold and the courtroom across Europe, matching Dumas's own sweep from Marseille to the block.
