The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas (illustration of the Calmann-Lévy edition, Paris, 1894).

We love history, storytelling, Dumas, and everything related to the Dumas-verse, not just his Musketeers saga. We enjoyed the BBC series “Musketeers” and decided to continue the story beyond the three seasons of the show.

Corso is a traveler, curious about pirates, privateers and other adventurers venturing to distant lands, seeking the stories of women and men not in the foreground, and whose nonconforming perspectives have been lost or forgotten in the swirling winds of history.

Mordaunt likes old things: maps, letters, archives, paintings, buildings, and places steeped in history.  So many stories untold and forgotten, so many voices lost! So much to challenge and inspire!
