On this episode of the Bookworm History podcast, it’s “All for one and one for all!” as we dive into the story and the history behind Alexandre Dumas’ swashbuckling classic “The Three Musketeers”!

Welcome to the inaugural Bookworm History podcast!  Today we’re delving into the real world behind Christopher Marlowe’s immortal “Doctor Faustus”, the brilliant-but-bored German magician who sold his soul to the devil.  Before he was ever immortalized by Marlowe, Faust was a real person (although a pretty cut-rate magician who probably didn’t sell his soul to the devil). Magic! Demons! A maddeningly non-linear story of publication! All that and more!
