David Postle | 50 comments Hi, only just joined the forum.
Couldn't find an entry for Dumas, so I thought I'd start my own. I won't even attempt to list all his works, as he was such a prolific writer. I am trying to collect as much as I can of his writings, translated to English, of course, as my schoolboy French isn't too hot, and I really have got quite some way, but there is so much that is not readily available in English. I'm not even sure that all of his work has been translated. Recently found the Collins Pocket Classics editions of Acte and Amaury
in an op shop, which was a real find. Interested in hearing, if anybody else is in the same position.

David, you can copy and paste from Wikipedia. There's no shame in it...as a common courtesy, it's nice to bold your headings (Fiction, Nonfiction, Drama, etc.).

David Postle | 50 comments I know for a fact that the Wikipedia entry on Dumas is a long way from complete.

Lobstergirl | 124 comments That's fine, each of our posts here is infinitely editable.

David Postle | 50 comments I'm at work at the moment, but I do have a couple of lists at home that I have downloaded from the web that are pretty close to complete and can direct you to them if you are really interested. But I'm not exactly sure how much of it is really Dumas, as I know for a fact, that there are quite a number of books attributed to Dumas that are doubtful, and also
that he plotted a lot of others but left the detailed writing to his apprentices.
