The Man in the Iron Mask is the final episode in the cycle of novels featuring Dumas' celebrated foursome of D' Artagnan, Athos, Porthos & Aramis, who first appeared in The Three Musketeers. Some thirty-five years on, the bonds of comradeship are under strain as they end up on different sides in a power struggle that may undermine the young Louis XIV & change the face of the French monarchy.

Why does the Queen Mother fear its revelation? Who is the mysterious prisoner in the Bastille? & what is the nature of the threat he poses? Dumas, the master storyteller, keeps us reading & guessing until the climactic scene in the grotto of Locmaria, a fitting conclusion to the epic saga of the musketeers. ...

The Man Diet

Be honest, How often do you: Immediately check out the Facebook page of a guy you?ve just met? Send drunken texts that make you want to cringe the next morning? While away whole evenings analysing your love life with your mates? Answered yes to any of the above? Then you need this book. The single woman has never had it so good ? or so you'd think.

Determined to help her fellow single woman, Zoe put herself on The Man Diet: ten no-nonsense rules to stop you binging on bad romance and help you sort the wheat from the chaff ? emotionally, sexually and romantically. This isn?t a book about snaring
a man; its about treating yourself well while you're single and putting you on the right track to happiness. If you loved Caitlin Morans How to be a Woman and Grace Dents How to Leave Twitter, you will love this book.
