Produktbeschreibung

This classic tale of political intrigue, murder, romance, and high drama is set during the weak reign of King Louis XIII of France. Cardinal Richelieu is gathering the reins of power into his cold, ruthless hands, aided by Milady de Winter and Rochefort. Opposing him are Queen Anne and the Three Musketeers--Athos, Porthos, and Aramis--together with the young D'Artagnan. One of the master's best works!
