- The Three Musketeers I
1
Prepare yourself for the ultimate swashbuckling epic! Perhaps Alexandre Dumas' most famous creation, this tale of heroic swordsmen set the standard for every adventure story that followed. This first part of the novel centres on D'Artagnan, who leaves home to make his fortune in 17th Century Paris. There he meets the famous Musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. The four become steadfast friends, committed to serving the king and preserving peace. But there's a darkness looming on the horizon—the villainous Cardinal Richelieu plans to plunge France into war. Packed with boisterous characters and derring-do, "The Three Musketeers" remains a page-turner. It's been adapted for the big screen many times, including a 1993 Disney movie starring Charlie Sheen.-
- The Three Musketeers II
2
France's fate hangs in the balance! In this second part of Dumas' classic, our heroes must race across Europe to save the day. It all begins with Queen Anne of France, who is having an affair with the English Duke of Buckingham. Hoping to expose the tryst, and thereby enrage King Louix XIII into declaring war, Cardinal Richelieu plans a ball. He suggests the Queen wear a necklace that the King gifted her. But the necklace is with Buckingham. The Musketeers' mission is to bring back the jewellery, doing battle with agents of the Cardinal along the way. It's a breathless adventure, set across 17th Century Paris, Calais, and London. And this volume also introduces D'Artagnan's infatuation with the mysterious Milady.-

Torn between his duty and his desires, D'Artagnan must decide where his loyalties lie. Continuing "The Three Musketeers" adventures, this third volume reveals Milady's true identity. It sets her on course for a showdown with D'Artagnan, who is still in love with her. And also brings to light a violent chapter from one of the other musketeers' past. Meanwhile, France's religious conflicts head towards a culmination—the siege of the city of La Rochelle. The Musketeers must prepare themselves for war. Deepening the bonds between our heroes, this is yet another boisterous adventure from the pen of Alexandre Dumas. -
- The Man in the Iron Mask
3
In the final chapter of their saga, the Musketeers must reckon with France's most famous mystery—"The Man in the Iron Mask".As the story begins, D'Artagnan is in the service of the corrupt King Louis XIV. Meanwhile, his old friends Aramis and Porthos are hatching a coup. They've learned that the king's identical twin is locked away in prison. If they can somehow swap the places of the two men, France will be saved. It's a plan that sets the Musketeers on a collision course with each other. Inspired by a real story, "The Man in the Iron Mask" is a rip-roaring historical adventure. And a fitting send-off to literature's greatest swashbucklers. Recommended for anyone who loved the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Jeremy Irons. -

Milady is finally behind bars. During the day, she patiently plots her escape. And at night, she dreams of reaping revenge on D'Artagnan. In this final part of "The Three Musketeers", our heroes' story looks to be drawing to a close. But the Cardinal and Milady have other ideas. Athos, Aramis, Porthos and D'Artagnan will have to use all their wits in this final struggle. It's a fitting end to Dumas' epic, which takes his famous blend of action and romance into some unexpected directions. And if you're left wanting more Musketeers, don't despair! Their adventures continue in the sequel "Twenty Years After".-
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.
