Just because they're not on the Anglo level doesn't make them useless. Hunchback and Musketeers beat out the little prince with ease.

It's probably not even in the top 100.
James Clark
user high-brow autors are not that read nowadays, most famous british book is harry potter by far.
Jason Russell
I guess?
Here in tacoland the book is treated as a childhood lecture, so it's quite popular in it's original format. Other books, however, are popular because of their film adaptations, rather than the book themselves.

It's the summer movie of its day. And besides, you mention famous which is not the same as most read currently.

Dumas' works are both literary and accessible and even people who haven't read them have probably seen one adaptation or another.

i have read many books and come from a background of people who work in book edition but never read this
i've always been told it was for children and too boring and naive, as a kid i was given to read all the jules verne instead
definitely not the most famous, les miserables is probably the best known one
Chase Sullivan
he wrote another book,wind sand &stars (terre des hommes) which is fantastic and everyone should read it
Logan Perez
You should have read Jules Verne instead
Jeremiah Diaz
It only means you don't read a lot. There are plenty of French writers.
