Classic Adventure

Jim Hawkins in the apple barrel, d'Artagnan dueling his way across Paris, Edmond Dantès plotting revenge from the Château d'If, Allan Quatermain crossing the veldt. Swashbucklers and sprawling casts — character avatars act as memory jogs when the plot scatters across three countries, and click-to-explain decodes the nineteenth-century military and nautical slang.
