Yes indeed, I do think we all have a rosier view of the book because of all the film adaptations over the years, which left out or skated over the worst behaviour and gave us a few hours of fun and adventure. Oh, and lovely costumes!

It's worth googling the statue of Dumas in Paris, to see the gorgeous looking D'Artagnan perched noncholantly at the back of it. It so perfectly encapsulates the way many of us probably thought about him and his buddies.

ETA: Sorry, I was writing this when astrangerhere put in her post, so sorry it doesn't follow on smoothly.

Good to know you enjoyed Dandelion Wine - I'm looking forward to reading it.
