'All for one, and one for all!'

First published in 1844, The Three Musketeers is a rollicking swashbuckling tale, and remains one of the most entertaining adventure narratives available to us today.

It is 1625 and France faces the looming threat of war against the English. The young, spirited d'Artahnan travels to Paris to join the King's Musketeers, where he befriends the iconic trio, Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Together, they battle treachery, outwit the cunning Cardinal Richelieu and scheming spy Milady, and fight to defend France's honour once and for all. Featuring dogged heroism, swordplay, daring exploits and romances aplenty, this timeless classic is a gripping celebration of courage, adventure and the unbreakable bond of friendship.
Alexandre Dumas (1802 – 1870) was a French author and playwright. Famed for his historical adventure novels, which have been translated in several languages, he is one of the most widely read French authors of all time. Much of his work has been adapted for the big screen – a testament to their enduring charm.
