Very good, 1st thus edition, olive green clothbound boards, blind-pressed cover crest and ruling, spine gilt pressed titling; text block firm, pages tight and unmarked; top edge olive. Provenance: from library of Sir Christopher Ondaatje, FRSL. And previously from that of Woodrow Wyatt (Tory MP and writer).. 8vo: crown (200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_""). It is May 1660 and the fate of nations is at stake. Mazarin plots, Louis XIV is in love, and Raoul de Bragelonne, son of Athos, is intent on serving France and winning the heart of Louise de la Valliere. D'Artagnan, meanwhile, is perplexed by a mysterious stranger, and soon he learns that his old comrades already have great projects in hand. Athos seeks the restoration of Charles II, while Aramis, with Porthos in tow, has a secret plan involving a masked prisoner and the fortification of the island of Belle-Ile. D'Artagnan finds a thread leading him to the French court, the banks of the Tyne, the beaches of Holland, and the dunes of Brittany.
