The Scarlet Pimpernel

Perhaps the most famous alias of all time, The Scarlet Pimpernel hides the identity of a British nobleman who, masked by various disguises, leads a band of young men to undermine the Reign of Terror after the French Revolution.

The Scarlet Pimpernel makes daring raid after daring raid into the heart of France to save aristocrats condemned to the guillotine. At each rescue, he leaves his calling card: a small, blood-red flower--a pimpernel--mocking the power of Robespierre and his Committee of Public Safety.

Having been told that his own wife was an informer who delivered an aristocrat into the hands of the Committee, the Scarlet Pimpernel must keep his identity and work a secret while he struggles against the love he feels for her. Until the day her own brother is taken prisoner....

Delightful!

Narrator was amazing! Engaging, dramatc, funny story. Enjoyable use of hyperbole and repetition. Unique charming.

a family favorite

A great swashbuckling adventure for the whole family. We loved the narrator and the story as a whole.

Great book and narration

Michael Page brings this book alive, and summons its characters, making them all the more memorable. His third-person narration is fast-paced and lively. Just get it. I demo'd every single recording as of late 2016, and none of them compare.

Well done!

The narrator did a good job, the different voices for each character made it easy to follow and the voice for Sir Percy which I think makes the story was really good. :)

Brilliant Voice Acting

Was a rereead from adolescence, but God's fish it was better now as an adult than I recall as a child.
