What book by Alexandre Dumas (father) would you recommend? Something with that classic light feeling of adventure, that his pieces are known for.

I've read the classics; count of Monte Cristo, the three mousquetaires (also the follow up books) and aventures de John Davys (couldn't find the english name).

His Grandmother was an African Slave. His father was brought to France and educated as a nobleman and later became a general in the French army.

Yes. He would be considered a 'quadroon' in the old system: his paternal grandmother was a Haitian plantation slave
The two paintings of his father General Thomas Alexandre Dumas depict him has being very black
