1.The Confusion (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 2)The Confusion (The Baroque Cycle, Vol. 2)
Price: $8.99

Customer Review:
Even Amazon is confused about the numbering in the series. Timeline-wise, Confusion isn't volume 2; it's volume 4. Its characters' lives pick up right after the end of Odalisque, which followed King of the Vagabonds, which followed Quicksilver.
Having said that, the first three books were a... more info

2.Mistress of the Sun: A NovelMistress of the Sun: A Novel
from Touchstone
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
A very enjoyable novel. I particularly enjoyed the childhood of Louise de la Vallière; the tale of Her relationship to horses, and Her use of "Bone Magic" to tame a stallion, which intensifies her Religiosity later in life.
The author also describes Louis XIV -the human man vs. The King-... more info

from Anchor
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
I used to be fascinatged by these portraits of historical figures, but this one left me bored and skeptical. I have read a few of Ms Fraser's other books and enjoyed them. Particularly her Marie Antoinette. But this one I found dull by the second chapter and now after chapter 7 have set it aside to... more info

4.Twenty Years After (Oxford World s Classics)Twenty Years After (Oxford World's Classics)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
The Three Musketeers is one of my favorite books and Twenty Years After is practically just as good. The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because the editor, David Coward, gives away the ending of The Man in the Iron Mask. He tells you what happens in the last chapter of the last book... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
The entire Musketeer series is a great read mixing adventure, comedy, and history. It tells the story of the lifetime friendship of four heroes and how that friendship is tested by ambition and conflicting loyalties. The Man in the Iron Mask is the book in this series. In this book the four... more info

Customer Review:
Louise de la Valliere or, CSI: Fontainebleau
Louise de la Valliere is normally published as the second installment of the third volume (the Vicomte de Braggelonne) of Alexandre Dumas' musketeer romances. As other reviews tell you, this is about the relationships among King Louis' court. The... more info

7.The Man in the Iron Mask (Signet Classics)The Man in the Iron Mask (Signet Classics)
from Signet Classics
Price: $6.95

Customer Review:
THE MAN IN THE IRON MASK is not what you would expect if you have seen any of the filmed versions, but it is nevertheless a fitting end to the saga of the Three Musketeers. My only problem with it is the translation in the Signet edition, which is clumsy, clunky, and lifeless. There must be a better... more info

from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20

Customer Review:
The Penguin edition of "The Man in the Iron Mask" is taken from the larger novel "Vicomte de Bragelonne" about the son of the famous musketeer Aramis. Dumas wrote countless potboilers for French periodicals but a few of his works have become immortal. This is especially true of the trilogy of French... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
This book is an absolutely amazing piece of work. I was introduced to it while looking for audiobooks on ITunes. The audiobook was so enjoyable that I felt compelled to purchase the actual book to read along with it.
Mitford makes each of the historical figures come alive, and makes an opulent... more info
