About The Three Musketeers
The Three Musketeers is probably Alexandre Dumas’ most famous work. It was initially published in serial form in a French newspaper, and is the first part of a trilogy. It follows d’Artagnan as he travels to Paris and joins the Musketeers of the Guard, where he meets Athos, Aramis and Porthos.
