Summary "The Cardinal's Musketeer" by Mary Imlay Taylor is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set in 17th century France during the reign of Louis XIII, the story revolves around a young clockmaker's adopted son, Péron, who navigates life in Paris while encountering various intriguing characters, including the powerful Cardinal Richelieu. The narrative promises a blend of adventure and drama intertwined with historical events, making it a captivating read for those interested in literature that combines personal and political intrigue. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Péron, a thoughtful eight-year-old boy living in a clockmaker's shop on the Rue de la Ferronnerie. The opening scenes depict his fascination with the clocks and his imaginative play fueled by the beautiful pieces of machinery surrounding him. Péron's life is colored by his interactions with his guardians, Jacques and Madame Michel, who display both affection and strictness in their upbringing. The mystery of a forbidden attic piques Péron's curiosity, leading to a subtle journey of discovery involving hidden secrets, family dynamics, and the arrival of notable patrons, setting the stage for deeper storylines that will unfold as he grows.
