All for one, and one for all!
The young D'Artagnan and the legendary musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis are 'the inseparables' - ready to sacrifice everything in a duel or game of dice in order to defend their honour or that of the King and Queen of France. Handsome and hot-tempered, they dive into raging battles or back-street conspiracies with gusto, especially if by their daring deeds they can thwart the wicked devices of their arch-enemy, Cardinal Richelieu, and his mysterious accomplice, Milady de Winter. .

One of the most famous works of French literature, The Three Musketeers is a classic swashbuckler novel of adventure, sword fights, humour, and romance.

Delve into a fast-paced world of danger and espionage as d'Artagnan travels to Paris in the hopes of joining the Musketeers of the Guard. Set in France in the 1620s, this gripping story tells the tale of a brave swordsman and his friendship with the most dauntless guards in Paris: the three musketeers. Follow the four friends' adventures as they face the ruthless Cardinal Richelieu and his gorgeous spy, Milady. As brave d'Artagnan finds himself surrounded by conspiracy and peril, he realises he's falling in love, but this blossoming romance is doomed from the start...

First published in 1844, Alexandre Dumas's thrilling novel is a timeless must-read for fans of historical adventure fiction.
The story of d'Artagnan is continued in Twenty Years After and The Vicomte de Bragelonne. Those three novels by Dumas are together known as the D'Artagnan Romances.
