About this audiobook

One of the most celebrated and popular historical romances ever written, The Three Musketeers tells the story of the early adventures of the young Gascon gentleman, D'Artagnan and his three friends from the regiment of the King's Musketeers - Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Under the watchful eye of their patron M. de Treville, the four defend the honour of the regiment against the guards of Cardinal Richelieu, and the honour of the queen against the machinations of the Cardinal himself as the power struggles of seventeenth century France are vividly played out in the background. But their most dangerous encounter is with the Cardinal's spy, Milady, one of literature's most memorable female villains, and Alexandre Dumas employs all his fast-paced narrative skills to bring this enthralling novel to a breathtakingly gripping and dramatic conclusion.

Ratings and reviews

Excellent! I first got interested in the three musketeers as a young child watching the old films with my dad. Over the years I have watch countless other films and shows based on the book, but those don't do this masterpiece any justice. From the start of the book right through there are twists and turns in the story that keeps the reader/listener on the edge. The narrator does a great job of giving the characters different voices so you can follow along and feel like you're moving through alongside the characters as a silent observer. Highly recommend!

Adored this book. It's a great and adventurous tale of young manhood, true friendships, and adventure. It makes for a wonderful read, full of twists and turns as Dumas is so famous for. unwind and enjoy 😉

The American accent doesn't work. He can't pronounce any French words either.
