Geocache Description:

Co-ordinates are for a car park near to the cache site - this is not the actual cache site. Please bring a pen / pencil.

My first cache is dedicated to the mystery author who’s novel inspired my geo-name.

Born in Villers-Cotterêts, France in 1802 he is best known for his adventure novels. Much of his illustrious back-catalogue are based on or around political and historical situations and several drew on the experiences of his friends and colleagues. A prolific author and dramatist he began his career writing for magazines and plays and he also turned his hand to non-fiction.

Please see the Gallery for an image of the mystery author.

A selected bibliography (with a few clues to his identity left in)

- The Fencing Master
- Castle Eppstein
- Georges
- The Nutcracker
- The Count of Monte Cristo
- The Great Dictionary of Cuisine

And 'The D'Artagnan Romances' consisting of:
- The Three Musketeers
- Twenty Years After
- The Vicomte de Bragelonne

He died in 1870, aged 68 and was buried in the cemetery of the place where he had been born. This remained the case until 2002 when, under orders of the then President Jacques Chirac he was re-buried Panthéon of Paris, the great mausoleum where French luminaries are interred. In his speech at the televised ceremony, President Chirac said:
"With you, we were D'Artagnan, Monte Cristo, or Balsamo, riding along the roads of France, touring battlefields, visiting palaces and castles — with you, we dream"
This honour recognised that although France has produced many great writers, none has been so widely read as the author mentioned.
