B. J. Harrison Reads The Man in the Iron Mask

Written by Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by B. J. Harrison

The story of “The Three Musketeers” continues in “The Man in the Iron Mask” but the plot is even more intricate. D’Artagnan, Athos, Porthos and Aramis return to the scene but this time each of them is fighting for completely different things. D’Artagnan remains in the service of the corrupt King Louis XIV while his “brothers” try to remove him from the throne. Will the four stay loyal to each other or will the friendship be destroyed? Who is the man in the iron mask and what is his role in the story? Where is he hiding and from whom? Will all those questions be answered or will a part of the story stay shrouded in mystery? B. J. Harrison started his Classic Tales Podcast back in 2007, wanting to breathe new life into classic stories.

Alexandre Dumas

Alexandre Dumas was born in 1802. After a childhood of extreme poverty, he took work as a clerk, and met the renowned actor Talma, and began to write short pieces for the theatre. After twenty years of success as a playwright, Dumas turned his hand to novel-writing, and penned such classics as The Count of Monte Cristo (1844), La Reine Margot (1845) and The Black Tulip (1850). After enduring a short period of bankruptcy, Dumas began to travel extensively, still keeping up a prodigious output of journalism, short fiction and novels. He fathered an illegitimate child, also called Alexandre, who would grow up to write La Dame aux Camélias. He died in Dieppe in 1870.
