A worthy sequel to Three Musketeers

When I first saw this book, I expected a story of D'Artagnan and Further his friends.I what not disappointed.D'Artagnan's rise in the ranks of the Musketeers and his reunions with all threee of his old comrades reaffirm Their famous moto : ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL I loved the delightful way Dumas blended actual history (like the 1648 Fronde Rebellion in France or the 1649 rebellion in England) with the live performance of thesis heroes, with Athos remaining of the most noble and heroic (. Footnote: This is the only book That gives D'Artagnan's first name and the first one to give the real names of all three of his friends Musketteer).
