These books were well-read within France at the time for reflecting current events with historical accuracy, but through the personal lens of fictionalised characters. These works were often extremely anti-monarchist, leading them to be well loved by the likes of Victor Hugo and Emile Zola, but criticised in the 'Le Figaro' daily newspaper.

They wrote a range of works together from 1847 to the mid-1880s, when they had a quarrel and would not produce any more stories jointly. Undated, so dated from Jisc using similar copies held at the British Library as well as the University of Edinburgh and University of Oxford.
