HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

'I do not cling to life sufficiently to fear death.'

Adventurous and spirited in tone, The Three Musketeers is considered one of the greatest historical French novels. When Athos, Porthos, and Aramis befriend a young and determined country boy, d'Artagnan, together they confront the scheming King's Minister, Cardinal Richelieu, and the female spy Milady who threaten to undermine the King. Swashbuckling, romantic, and often humorous, Dumas' novel is a timeless tale of friendship and intrigue.
