Alexandre Dumas' classic tale, published in 1844, is retold here for younger readers. This is the story of d’Artagnan, a country boy who travels to Paris to seek his fortune and, hopefully, to join the Musketeers—the bodyguards of the King of France. He meets three musketeers called Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Together they foil a dangerous plot against King Louis and his Queen, Anne—and against their own lives.
