"All for one and one for all." ― Alexandre Dumas, The Three Musketeers
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas is the classic adventure story of d'Artagnan and his three friends as they defend their king against Cardinal Richelieu.
October 10, 2016
The picaresque adventures of the young d’Artagnan, who strives to become a musketeer in service of the king, unfold in a visually vibrant adaptation of Dumas’s novel. It’s no easy task to condense such a sprawling story into a picture book, and readers may have trouble keeping up with the swerves of the plot. French artist André uses airy, watercolorlike effects to create dramatic visuals suggestive of stills from an animated action film. It’s an ambitious retelling, but most readers will probably benefit from outside research or conversations with adults to better understand the context and stakes of the story. Ages 8–11.
