Overview & Summary

A hot-headed young Gascon named d'Artagnan travels to Paris to join the King's Musketeers and quickly finds himself allied with three of its finest swordsmen -- Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. Together the four become entangled in a court intrigue involving Queen Anne of France, a set of diamond studs, and the scheming Cardinal Richelieu's ruthless agent, Milady de Winter. Alexandre Dumas's swashbuckling classic, built around the motto "all for one, and one for all," set the template for the historical adventure novel.
