Alexandre Dumas Books

I know it wasn't written by Dumas, but it is an interesting book
for those who like the 17TH century

If you are to read the complete text of this novel, you will find a subpar 19th century adventure novel. It WAS NOT, however, actually written by Alexandre Dumas! His name was used illegally by a number of authors and publishers in the late 1800's to sell supposed sequels to some of his most famous books (see "Daughter of Monte Cristo.") All of them are poor imitations of the original. Buyer beware! Order instead the five books which make up the true Musketeer cycle. You can get great Oxford University Press full-text paperbacks from Amazon. Long live Dumas!

This is unlike ANY Musketeer book Dumas has written. It seems to be more of a story that takes place in Portugal with D';Artagnan and Porthos "thrown in" to put D'Artagnan's name on the book to sell copies.

I have yet to finish this book so I'm not reviewing the story. This is the most messed up publication I've ever seen. First of all, the author is Sir Anthony Hope, *not* Alexandre Dumas. Not only that, but there is another completely separate book published in the middle of it! Worst editing job ever!

Don't be fooled. This is NOT Dumas, it is a rewrite. The target audience seems to be kindergarteners.
