Acclaim for the Musketeer Novels Translated by Lawrence Ellsworth

“Newly translated, this sequel to The Three Musketeers is as fresh as ever. Dumas never stints the action, witty dialogue, and surprising plot developments. An excellent, compulsively readable translation [by] Lawrence Ellsworth.”

—    Michael Dirda, The Washington Post

“Dumas’s trademark gifts at crafting engaging historical romances are amply in evidence in this lengthy yet fast-paced volume. Ellsworth’s translation captures a complete narrative. A very entertaining epic.”
