My daughter has run off with it, so I can't tell anyone which one it was now. I'll give everyone this tip though: If you're not laughing by the third page, get a different one. The Three Musketeers is hilarious, which fact serves to offset the tragedy of the story.

Hm... maybe I should give this book another chance. A specific translation you, or anyone else can recommend? Preferably available here on MobileRead or from another free host?
