Welcome!
"Welcome, M'sieur, sit yourself down..."
Welcome to The 100% Original Les Misérables Page. It is designed to be a little different from other Les Misérables web pages in that I (the author) demand that everything on this site (excluding the graphical front end) must be totally original in design and, where possible, in concept. This means that nothing on this page can be found anywhere else on the Net. I gratefully accept contributions (see "About the Author" and the relevant sections for details) to the site from anybody, as long as they do not appear on any other web page. Indeed, if you find anything on this page anywhere else on the Internet, please email me so I can remove it from my site. This may sound rather picky, but it's the price you pay for originality.
Important: there has recently been a slight site policy change. Now, any article on the site can, at my own discretion, be linked directly to from any other web site. However, still no article can be posted onto another site by itself - it can only appear through a link. What this means is that you may think you've read an article here on another web site, when in fact it is still only actually on this one. It also means that if you'r considering posting something here you needn't worry that not many people will read it - it may still be accessible from other sites.
So what exactly is on this site, anyway?
Well, first of all, everything can be easily reached by the index frame on the left. Here is a brief summary of the contents of each menu entry:
This page (also referred to as the homepage).
Contains articles on our favourite musical in text format.
Not just standard scenes from the musical and photos of actors, but ones which have been edited by myself and others.
4. Javert's Suicide: Special Feature!
A guide to that famous book in the novel, with extracts as well as photographs of the very last places Javert saw. Not to be missed!

6. The Society for the Friends of Les Misérables.
This is a society to which anyone can belong. See here for details. *ATTENTION!* The method of gaining a SFLM title has changed. Please see here for details.
Here you will find all the art which makes up the front end of this page together in one easy to reach place for use in your own web pages.
My name is David Bean and I live in Scotland. Now read on.
**Also contains important notes about contacting the author**
Obviously, if I am calling this site 100% original, there must be some restrictions as to what you can do with it's contents. Please see here before doing anything rash.
There are plenty (other?) good Les Misérables-related pages on offer. Here are links to just a few.
This site is growing constantly, so if it ever looks a bit sparse then it is probably because I haven't had many outside contributions, so keep them coming! Send them to macbeth@dunsinane.co.uk using the subject title "100%: Submit" or see "About the Author" for more details.
Download the Les Misérables font, Caslon Antique (Regular and Italic versions included), which is often used on this site and many others. Highly recommended - once you've downloaded it, unzip the font files into your "Fonts" folder.
