It's all here, complete & unabridged. Set in 17th century England and France, this classic tale tells of valour, intrigue and love. The three friends, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and their companion, D'Artagnan, fight & love their way through a series of hair-raising adventures. Their exploits, laced with intrigue between the French and English courts and a host of full-blooded subsidiary characters, provide the coulourful framework for a fast-moving, witty and essentially humorous tale.
This is a great classic. I went through a classic period, and I really enjoyed this story!
Normally, anachronistic values don't interfere with my appreciation of a story. However, for some reason in this novel, the hypocrisy of the musketeers' behavior compared with their judgements of others (especially women) was trying. I certainly would not recommend it for children.
The plot is also very contrived.
Overall, for a "classic," I was underimpressed. That said, it is a relatively fun and easy read as long as you're prepared to suspend some of your values along with your disbelief.

Original classic of adventure and romance.
The complete classic, unabridged, 184 pages. Copyright 1993, by Landoll Classics.
This would be a great book for young children. There are illustrations with no color on every other page, which the child could color.
This is a littel pocket book, great for taking anywhere.
