Product Description

Review

'Anyone who feels that their outward manner is but a travesty of their inner self can hardly fail to respond to THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL' (Independent )

Product Description

The Terror has begun.



Paris, 1792. Each day scores of the French nobility feed the guillotine. They are trapped in the capital. There is no escape.



But rumours whisper of a league of young English gentleman of unparalleled daring who are risking their lives to spirit aristocrats across the Channel. They leave no trace behind them except a note from the 'Scarlet Pimpernel'.



The ruthless spy master Chauvelin is determined to stop the rescuers by fair means or foul, and, desperately outnumbered, the Scarlet Pimpernel and his men must use all their wits to evade capture and stay alive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless delight., 12 Mar 2007
By 
L. Hay "Saturnicus" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Scarlet Pimpernel (Paperback)
This is a lovely book which has everything, and has stood the test of time. There is adventure, espionage, blackmail, intrigue and romance. It has atmosphere and tension, and you cannot help but to cheer on Marguerite as she persues her husband to save him from the vile Chauvelin. Delightful characters depicted with grace and charm, in keeping with the era. A thoroughly good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read, 2 April 2010
By 
Sereima (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scarlet Pimpernel (Paperback)
I originally read this book (and the rest of Orczy's Pimpernel books) when I was 12 and remember thoroughly enjoying them then. 13 years later I have re-read the books, and they are still just as enjoyable as they were the first time round.

The Scarlet Pimpernel books never seem to date, and seem much more readable than many of the well known books written around the same time.
