In 1844, Alexandre Dumas published The Three Musketeers, a novel so famous and still so popular today that it scarcely needs introduction. Shortly thereafter he wrote a sequel, Twenty Years After, that resumed the adventures of his swashbuckling heroes. Later, toward the end of his career, Dumas wrote The Red Sphinx, another direct sequel to The Three Musketeers that begins not 20 years later but a mere 20 days afterward. The Red Sphinx picks up right where the The Three Musketeers left off.

The Count of Monte Cristo
Marseilles, 1815. Nineteen-year-old seaman Edmond Dantès is engaged to the beautiful Mercédès and about to be promoted to Captain. But his luck runs out when three acquaintances betray him, and he is condemned to fourteen years’ solitary confinement in the Chateau D'If. Escaping the notorious prison, Dantès plots his enemies’ destruction. His revenge will prove devastating…

Excellent performance
All three stories were adapted very well for dramatization. The Count of Monte Cristo was the best, with a multi-thread intertwined plot. I liked the main narrator’s role as a guide to keeping all the characters and plots straight although sometimes it was a little obvious.
The Lady of the Camellias could have benefited with a bit more length to extend the scenes between Armand and Margerite because their interaction was beautifully performed.

brilliant, perfect and surprising
The Three Musketeers is my absolute favourite book and The Count is in my top five so this had a lot tolive up to. the Musketeers is a brilliant adaptation slightly anti climactic if I'm being extremely picky but overall a fantastic listen Anton Lesser is sublime as always. the Count is another level Ian Glenn is at his absolute best this knocks the socks off of his performance as Doctor Thorne, Toby Jones is a brilliant Villian its just top draw all through really keep you on the edge of your seat far better than any screen adaptation has ever managed, Ben Crow is head and shoulders above any thuggish villan as always. the Lady is a story I have never come across until now and was a little apprehensive at first it takes about ten minutes for it to really get going but surprised me at how good it is when I have never heard of it before it's a truly beautifully tragic love story and very well executed may need a couple of listens to grasp it as it is only about an hour long so feels a little condensed. Worth every penny of the download!
