Les Trois Mousquetaires

The Three Musketeers

A penniless Gascon rides into Paris on a ridiculous yellow horse and picks three duels on his first day — with Athos, Porthos and Aramis. Dumas's great adventure of the queen's diamond studs, retold in eighteen chapters of French that climb from A2 to B1 as the race to London and back runs against the cardinal's clock.
