Cyrano (The H. Bedford-jones Library)

Fighter, drinker, poet, rogue?all of these and more was Cyrano, who rode so gayly into the intrigue that was shaking Louis XIII?s kingdom of France. More than a year after the events narrated by H. Bedford-Jones in "The King?s Passport," a now-rundown, ragged and drunken Cyrano stumbles upon another conspiracy in the Spring of 1642 which breathes new life into the former guardsman?as does the encounter with a red-headed woman. And so it?s time again for Hector Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac to serve a lady, ride a road, pluck a lute and swing a sword?.
