The Three Musketeers is a novel by Alexandre Dumas, first serialized in March-July 1844.

Set in the 17th century, it recounts the adventures of a young man named d'Artagnan after he leaves home to travel to Paris, to join the Musketeers of the Guard.

D'Artagnan is not one of the musketeers of the title; those are his friends Athos, Porthos, and Aramis, inseparable friends who live by the motto "all for one, one for all".

The poor d'Artagnan travels to Paris to join the Musketeers.

He suffers misadventure and is challenged to a duel by each of three musketeers (Athos, Aramis and Porthos).

Attacked by the Cardinal's guards, the four unite and escape.

D'Artagnan and Constance help the French queen give a particular piece of jewelry to her paramour, the Duke of Buckingham.

The Cardinal learns of this and coaxes the French king to hold a ball where the queen must wear the jewelry; its absence will reveal her infidelity.

The four companions retrieve the jewelry from England.
