Queens of France

Published by Samuel French Inc
1 Male 3 Female
In New Orleans in 1869, Monsieur Cahusac - a charlatan of a lawyer - preys on vulnerable women, convincing each of them one that she is a legitimate descendant of the long-lost Dauphin, who fled Paris for New Orleans at the age of 10 during the French Revolution
Therefore, he tells each victim, she is the rightful Queen of France
Tantalized by visions of wealth, palaces and power, each victim responds in her own fashion to this preposterous revelation

REVIEWS
"Queens of France has so a rich and gay theme, and is done with such a superbly delicate, light touch as to make it sheer delight to any reader" ~ Chicago Daily Tribune
