Customer Reviews
Not happy with this translation - Rated Having read the previous four volumes of Dumas' D'Artagnan cycle in the excellent Oxford Classics series, I turned to the final instalment "The Man in the Iron Mask" with some relish. But I had boobed by buying this Penguin edition. For a start, the Penguin edition has fewer chapters - it starts further into the story than the Oxford edition. Therefore I was missing a chunk of the story. Far more distressing were all the Americanisms. OK if you're American, but I'm not am I? After one chapter I'd thrown this book under the settee and gone out and bought the Oxford Classic edition, £1 cheaper and translated into the Queen's English, thank you very much. It's really made me steer clear of Penguin translations since.
