Harry's the expert on this one, Sweetpea.

I think I read this as a teenager, but I can't remember what version or even the events in the novel. I was heavily into Rafael Sabatini at the the time, so I gravitated a little toward Dumas.

I can say that this version is complete and, according to the comments on Amazon, is a very highly regarded translation. I'm looking forward to reading it and in rediscovering (for myself), Dumas.

Right now, I need to finish John Irving, then I may dip into the luxurious adventures of Dumas's writings.

Sweetpea: I accidently went into "Edit" and not "Quote," on your post. I didn't change anything in your post at all.
