Description
The Papo D'Artagnan - just one of many great figurines from our historical characters range.Papo manufacture wonderful, amazingly accurate models of all sorts of toy figures, particularly historical figures including this model of D'Artagnan which can be complemented by any of the items in the Historical World range.The Papo D'Artagnan is based on the early life of the real man. D'Artagnan's life was used as the basis for Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras' (1644 - 1712) novel Les memoires de M. d'Artagnan. Alexandre Dumas in turn used de Sandras' novel as the main source for his d'Artagnan Romances (The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After, and The Vicomte de Bragelonne), which cover d'Artagnan's career from his humble beginnings in Gascony to his death at Maastricht. Although Dumas knew that de Sandras' version was heavily fictionalised, in the preface to The Three Musketeers he affected to believe that the memoirs were real, in order to make his novel more believable. All Papo model figures are beautifully hand painted to give wonderful role play to children and are also great collectors items for the history enthusiast.All Papo models comply completely with relevant safety regulations and are CE tested and approved.These Papo models give a wide ranging addition to a child's imagination and education and offer great play value.Manufacturer: Papo Model: 39904 D'Artagnan
