The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas - Vellum Style Jackets

The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas with a Vellum Style book jacket. In what is perhaps the most famous of historical novels, Dumas tells the story of D’Artagnan, a poor boy of noble origins who sets out from the provinces to join the king’s bodyguard. Once in Paris, he and his companions – Athos, Porthos and Aramis, the three musketeers of the title – find themselves drawn into a power struggle between the queen and the king’s chief minister, Cardinal Richelieu. The murky plot, which involves a piece of jewelry given by the queen to her lover, the Duke of Buckingham, also brings D’Artagnan into contact with the alluring but ruthless Lady de Winter.

This book is a clothbound hardcover volume published by Everyman’s Library, complete with silk reading-ribbons, acid-free, natural cream-colored paper, and European-style half-round spines. Each book is wrapped in a hand-folded jacket custom designed by Juniper Books.
