The Scarlet Pimpernel

A swashbuckling story told from a wife's perspective. An intersting twist and well told! Karen Savage, who does the Librevox recorded version of thos book is simply spectacular! She's worth hearing, whatever you think of the book!

Prior to reading this book, the only notion of "The Scarlet Pimpernel" I had, was of the swashbuckling Daffy Duck playing this same character in a Looney Tunes cartoon! The cartoon was great and so is this book. It takes place during the 'Time of Terror' of the French Revolution and tells of a cunning Englishman who defies the revolutionaries as he attempts to save aristocrats from the blade of the guillotine. A thoroughly enjoyable story!

This book shows the time in the past of the french revolution. It shows how the author embraces the past. I think the author should continue with this genre and keep on going. :-)

I've read way better books especaly by James Patterson.

This is an amazing book a litlle slow in the beggining but it was amazing after that

I love This book it is breath taking. It takes you back to the time of the french revolution. The reign of terror. It's actually boring 2 meeeee! I dont like this booooooook! Dont like it at all! -_- just bein me!

I so enjoy the ease of writing here and the subtle understanding of human nature. This understanding, so beautifully presented, is what makes this series a memorable classic.

Mckenzie capener. I really liked this book

The Scarlet Pimpernel is about a man who travels Europe rescuing French aristocrats from the Reign of Terror. It's very well written. The hero is like a less-violent version of Batman.

Has been a favorite for many years now! Very exciting and romantic :)

So far so good

A real page turner. Although somewhat predictable, there's enough suspense and intrigue to keep you guessing

Looking forward to reacquainting myself with this book which I loved as a teenager. Real escapism and excitement.

Who can not love this dashing, courageous hero who rescues victims during the French Revolution? Fascinating read.

I have always loved this book. I read it as a child and have really enjoyed revisiting the swashbuckling adventure.

This was amazing!
