This retelling of the classic tale about the swashbuckling adventures of a young man who travels to Paris with hopes of becoming one of the King's Musketeers will delight young readers age eight and older.

The abridged version of the Dumas' adventure follows the young man on a number of risky missions and it is accompanied by a series of full page color illustrations.

A good way to introduce a youngster to this famous action story, after mastering this adaption, which is just seventy pages in length, the child will hopefully one day want to try the full length version written by Alexandre Dumas.
