The Three Musketeers

This is a book that takes place in France during the 17th century. D'Artagnan and his three friends Athos, Porthos and Aramis are Musketeers, a soldier, in the service of King Louis XIII.
This was a very exciting story that was written in a very easy to read format. D'Artagnan and his friends confront the scheming Cardinal Richelieu and a spy, Lady de Winter. Heroic patriotism also comes into play as they journey to the French stronghold of La Rochelle. This book also included the original illustrations by artist John Green when it was first published in 1844.
