I've just read an interview with him where he calls Michelet 'Michelin' throughout...jesus wept!

I loled. I would find it more amusing if I didn't believe you, though.

I've only read bits of Citizens - in particular (what else?) looking at how he treated the Desmoulins - and couldn't help noticing that he gives Camille two different ages at different points in the book. And both of them are wrong.
