"The Three Musketeers" tells of the exciting adventures of d'Artagnan after he leaves home to become a musketeer - one of King Louis' expert swordsmen - in Paris. D'Artagnan becomes an inseparable friend of the three dashing musketeers Athos, Porthos and Aramis, and with them lives by their motto, 'All for one and one for all'. "Fast Track Classics" is a series of classic stories retold to appeal to the younger or less confident reader who may find the language and length of the original stories too daunting. Striking black and white illustrations add drama.
