Apparently there was another book in the D'Artagnan series, Son of Porthos, which was not translated into English. Coward's introduction and notes are valuable, if you don't let their frequency detract you from the story. For older adults the type may be a tad small, and that's the reason I provide only 4 stars, but larger type faces would require a book nearly the size of a phone book I would guess. -- Jeanne Lanz Butterfield
