Classics in Comics: The Three Musketeers adapts the ultimate swashbuckling tale of three musketeers and one daring d'Artagnan into a comic book full of humour and lots of avoidable mayhem. Bringing literature's top sword fights to young audiences are two authors who are expert on accessible, inclusive and irresistible storytelling, Steve Skidmore and Steve Barlow, with illustrations by cartoonist Facundo Aguirre.
