Dru, thank you for the series information. I've not heard of them but like the idea of telling those stories. Kudos to Reynolds.

I've wondering if you've read the other books in the Musketeer series? I didn't realize it was a series until a few years ago. Given the paragraph Jennifer shared, i wonder if anyone reads them all!

Regardless, i think it's wonderful that you continue to enjoy the book. It must bring you both memories of you life, as well of the plotting and exploits from the book. What a treasure.

I've read several of them, plus other Dumas as well. I especially liked his .

If you want a modern sci-fi /fantasy twist on the Musketeers, read Stephen Brust's modern take on the series starting with . You can also try which is an homage to "The Count of Monte Cristo."

How neat, Jennifer. I like when our contemporary authors give updated renditions on classics. It has us considering what we understood previously and what we may have missed. I appreciate the tips on titles.

I just read a re-imagination of Sense and Sensibility that was quite good, if you’re interested: Ladies of the House: A Modern Retelling of Sense and Sensibility

It's good to know you liked this, Jennifer. If i relied on the GR reviews, i'd be torn, as they are quite mixed! Thank you for sharing.
