Description 

Chicot the Jester is one of Alexandre Dumas’s lesser-known but richly entertaining historical novels, blending court intrigue, wit, and political drama in sixteenth-century France. Centered on the legendary jester Chicot—court fool to King Henry III—the novel showcases Dumas’s flair for sharp dialogue, vivid characterizations, and fast-moving historical storytelling.

This early Everyman’s Library edition reflects the series’ mission to make enduring literary classics widely accessible, with careful editing by Ernest Rhys and durable cloth bindings designed for long-term readership. A handsome vintage volume that fits beautifully within classic literature, historical fiction, or Dumas collections.


Why We Love This Book

A charming blend of history and humor by one of the great masters of nineteenth-century literature—proof that Dumas’s storytelling magic extends far beyond The Three Musketeers.
