book: the scarlet pimpernel

The Scarlet Pimpernel The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I've known this story for a long time thanks to movies, musicals and an Hugh Laurie abridged narration. Yet, the unabridged help to fill in some gaps. Hah, and I saw where they had edited some ethnic backgrounds for Political Correctness.I'll admit, I did get a bit tired of hearing how Margot was so brilliant and beautiful, but other than that, a fun fast fabulous read.
