Book Reviews of The Scarlet Pimpernel (Signet Classics)

Book Review: Adventure, suspense, humor and romance - magnifique!
Summary: 5 Stars

Baroness Orczy's classic story set in 1792 during the French Revolution is about a band of valiant Englishmen under the leadership of a mysterious man whose unsurpassed grit, audacity and clever disguises would rescue the fortunate few aristos from the insatiable Madamme Guillotine.

Actor/Writer Hugh Laurie (Cousin Bette, Jeeves and Wooster, The Gun Seller), does rightful justice to The Scarlet Pimpernel as he brillantly brings this classic to life. With sharp characterizations of the villainous French agent Chauvelin; unerring shifts from foppish and inane to the cold, proud, passionate Sir Percy Blakeney and a dozen other characters, each with their own distinctive voices and accents, Laurie gives you the illusion of listening to a cast of superb readers. Thoroughly enjoyable! Drawback - it's abridged. Asset - The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel.
