The Scarlet Pimpernel [Classic Tales Edition]

By: Baroness Orczy

Narrated by: B. J. Harrison

Paris: September 1792. At the West Barricade, the bloody guillotine continues her ghastly work. And word has gotten round that the mischievous Englishman who delights at ferrying off French aristocrats to England is somewhere among them. For today, the Citoyen Fouquier-Tinville, on his way to the Committee of Public Safety, received another enigmatic calling card. It was signed with a symbol of a red flower - the mark of the Scarlet Pimpernel.

Great book. Solid read.

This is a great book. The narration is pretty well done. For 4 bucks, I'm not complaining!

A great version of an old favorite

This is a great, old-fashioned adventure tale that most would enjoy, and Mr. Harrison does a fantastic job setting the scene and making each character come to life.

Great production

Story is riveting and narrator was very good. Highly recommend. He was great with all of the voices.

Great story

Really enjoyed this book. Had to drive from Atlanta to Washington DC and listening to this book made the trip actually fun!

Pimperneling Aint Easy

Sometimes interesting but a bit too contrived ,The Scarlet Pimpernal was definitely a book for it's time. Having read much on the Reign of Terror there isn't much else here for but a melodramatic tale of an aristocratic hero and the snobs he rescues.
