This is the kind of story that if you had to read in school, you would have loved. An action story that does not stop. It is all so believable. Its worth the reading for the scenes alone. Beats the movie any day.

Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy is a great classic. The story takes place in France and England during the horrific French Revolution. The story is fast paced. It is a mystery, a love story and Historical Fiction wrapped all in one.

Once you begin the book it is impossible to put down until you discover the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel. The Scarlet Pimpernel is smarter than smart outwitting all the people looking for him. While these people continue to chase and search, the Scarlet Pimpernel continues is mission. His mission is to save the French Aristocrats and take these people to the safe shores of England, far away from the guillotine which takes the life of men, women and children daily.
