Translated many works of Alexandre Dumas into
English for lesser-known American publishers, often with unusual or variant
titles. His translations included
The Man of the People
(La Comtesse de Charny) and
Balsamo the Magician,
(Mémoires d'un médecin) published by
William H. Davis. In the early 1900s, Williams wrote several "novelizations" of Dumas plays. In 1901, Williams wrote an
original work
D'Artagnan the King-Maker,
published by Street & Smith
(reprinted 1989) using the characters of D'Artagnan and Porthos.
Williams' book was inaccurately described by the publisher as "by
Alexandre Dumas."
