Dumas, Alexandre

Illustrated by
Brett Helquist.
This volume, with text abridged and adapted (though not dumbed down) for middle-grade readers, benefits from its inclusion of Helquist's black-and-white illustrations showing the French swashbucklers in action.

YA
Books of Wonder series.
Translated by Lowell Bair.
Illustrated by
Tom Kidd.
This handsome gift edition of the swashbuckling classic is illustrated with color plates. The artwork strives for an old-fashioned allure but looks more like paperback romance covers. The book, which includes an afterword profiling the life of Dumas, will mainly be of interest to adults.
