Dumas weaves two main storylines through this turbulent backdrop: one of the love ignited between le Comte de Bussy and la Dame de Monsoreau, and another of the friendship between King Henry III and his truly unique jester, Chicot (Jean-Antoine d'Anglerais). - Summary by jvanstan More information: http://librivox.org/chicot-the-jester-by-alexandre-dumas/ LibriVox - free public domain audiobooks (https://librivox.org/)
