|
This is the first in a series of historical adventure stories set in 17th century France featuring the heroine Angelique on her adventures through life.
The books were written by husband and wife team Serge and Anne Golon and published under the name Sergeanne Golon. In truth though, the books were written largely by Anne, with Serge providing the background research into the life and times of Louis XIV and his court.
The novels were incredibly popular in France in the 50s and 60s, but not all of them were translated into English. Many readers received an introduction to the books through the films and TV adaptations on French television.
Marquise of Angels is the first book in the series and is about Angelique'sÌýchildhood asÌýthe daughter of an impoverished nobleman, and her first marriage to a much older man and their subsequent adventures at the court of Louis XIV.
