The swashbuckling triumvirate charge and dodge again in C. Walter
Hodges black and white drawings which have an appropriately
etching-like character. Full color plates are of uneven interest.
(Kirkus Reviews)
With an Introduction and Notes by Keith Wren. University of Kent at
Canterbury. One of the most celebrated and popular historical
romances ever written, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the
early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his
three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos,
Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de
Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the
guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against
the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of
seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the
background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the
Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female
villains, and Alexandre Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative
skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping
and dramatic conclusion. Our edition uses the William Barrow
translation first published by Bruce and Wylde (London,1846)
