Pure swashbuckling pleasureDaily Telegraph

Read this fresh modern translation of Dumas’s great work.

The young DArtagnan travels to Paris determined to join King Louis XIIIs elite guards. Hot-headed and raring to prove himself, DArtagnan challenges three strangers to a duel. These strangers are none other than the daring band of Musketeers, Porthos, Athos and Aramis. DArtagnans fearless spirit impresses them and the Musketeers take him under their wing. Soon, the wicked plots of Cardinal Richelieu and Milady de Winter propel the four musketeers to adventures on horseback, across seas and over rooftops to defend the honour of the Queen and protect the life of the King. This is a rousing tale of thrilling swordplay and royal intrigue, brave friends and the basest treachery.
