Inspired by historical events such as the Fronde, Dumas once again spins a tale of adventure, romance, and friendship.<br/><br/>Excerpt from Twenty Years After:<br/>“The queen’s eyes followed the retreating figures and when the last had closed the door she turned away. It was evident that she was making unnatural efforts to subdue her anger; she fanned herself, smelled at her vinaigrette and walked up and down. Gondy, who began to feel uneasy, examined the tapestry with his eyes, touched the coat of mail which he wore under his long gown and felt from time to time to see if the handle of a good Spanish dagger, which was hidden under his cloak, was well within reach.” This hardbound, durable copy will outlast any paperback and is a welcome gift for the bibliophiles and Dumas fans in your life.
