We have more books available by this author!. 513 pp. "Twenty Years After is a novel by Alexandre Dumas. This sequel to The Three Musketeers and a book of the so-called D'Artagnan Romances the third and last book being The Vicomte de Bragelonne including the famous volume Man in the Iron Mask was serialized from January to August 1845. The novel follows events in France during La Fronde during the childhood reign of Louis XIV and in England near the end of the English Civil War leading up to the victory of Oliver Cromwell and the execution of King Charles I. Dumas comes out on the side of the monarchy in general or at least he supports the idea of a well-meaning liberal monarchy. His musketeers are valiant and right in their efforts to protect young Louis XIV and the doomed Charles I from their attackers. Readers learn as much about Dumas and mid-19th century politics from reading this work as they do about the mid-17th century. This book is the least well-known of the Musketeer saga but works effectively as a sequel with reappearances by most main characters or children of main characters and an interesting set of subplots." - Wikipedia A.L.
