Product Description

Product Description

D'Artagnan, arriving in Paris from Gascony with no horse and few worldly goods wishes to join the King's Guards. He finds himself in the company of three musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, the most renowned fighters of their day. The adventures they share, fighting for the honour of the Queen against the machinations of 'Milady', are rich in drama, colour and romance, which is why The Three Musketeers has remained so popular since its first serialisation in 1844.


About the Author

Alexander Dumas was born in 1802 at Villes-Cotterets. He received very little education but when he entered the household of the future king, Louis-Philippe, he began to read veraciously and then to write. In 1839 he began writing novels dealing with the wars of religion and the Revolution, but he is most remembered for his historical novels, 'The Count of Monte Cristo' and 'The Three Musketeers'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - wasted on kids, 8 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This is the best book I have read in ages. I remember it as a childrens story but (as they say) you can't beat the real thing! The pace of this story is breathtaking and I soon found myself consumed with the whole tale. I really like his style. It's fast, it's fun, it's cheeky and the indiscretions add a certain something that, as I say, is wasted on kids. It's a classic for all the right reasons, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 2 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Three Musketeers (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
This book is a magnificent choice for those people who love classic literature. It is an absolutely fantastic book and i recommend those people that have read this book to go ahead and also read the continuation of the musketeers' story. There are another four books, namely : Twenty years after, Le Vicomte De Bragelonne, Louise De La Valliere, The man in the iron mask. Personally i believe the best of the books is "The three musketeers" but all the books are sensational. Have a nice time reading!

4.0 out of 5 stars A cracking adventure story, 8 Jan 2001
By Mrs. K. A. Wheatley "katywheatley" (Leicester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This tale gallops along nicely and gives great value for money in that it combines tremendous adventure with great history. I love all the mannerisms and social etiquette of the day. The dodgy morality combined with corrupt religion and devious politics make it exciting any way you cut it.
