Well done to everyone. Please could you all get in touch with me via lj message or email and send me postal addresses, so I can send out your prizes.

Oh, and the answers to the Dumas competition.
According to Dumas, Aramis' real name is Rene d'Herblay.
The historical figure on whom he was based is Henri d'Aramitz.
Athos' first name, according to Dumas, is Olivier, which as [livejournal.com profile] jen_qoe spotted, occurs in his stage play, La Jeunesse des Mousquetaires.

I'll try and drop it round to you in the next few days.
Jules will be here for Congenial in two weeks, if you'd like it personalised and signed.

- and if you enjoy it, [livejournal.com profile] bugshaw, we can see about getting Book 2 to you in due course.

- and I have realised that giving [livejournal.com profile] aitgereda the second volume of a trilogy is a bit um, well, so if you don't have the first installment, we'll sort that out as well :-)
