Love, love, LOVE! this series. 6 books surrounding one dashing hero. I've long enjoyed the 2nd book--this one, the one upon which the movie classic (The Scarlet Pimpernel) was made.

I read them all in a matter of weeks, when I first downloaded them a few years ago.The Elusive Pimpernel has it all, as they say: secret identities, romance, misunderstandings, daring rescues, narrow escapes, clever wit...
If you are looking for a new classic literature read, you really should give this a try. If you enjoy Jane Austen, and similar novels, this will likely climb high on your list of favorite stories.

The Elusive Pimpernel Scarlet Pimpernel edition by Baroness Orczy Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
There are some really fantastic SP moments in this book. You get to delve a little deeper into Percy's true character. As usual, Marguerite is a little over-dramatic in the beginning. It has a really interesting plot line that will have you wondering how Percy and Marguerite will get out of trouble yet again. The ending however, was a little anti-climatic for me. It is only 261 pages, so you'll fly through it. Overall and enjoyable read. If you are an avid SP fan,like me, you won't regret getting this book.
The Pimpernel is one of my favorite characters. I was happy to read more adventures. This is truly a classic series.
I liked this sequel the best of all those written for the scarlet pimpernel because Marguerite actually plays a part. Of course it is not as good as the scarlet pimpernel but it is still good.
I cannot get enough of these books. Seriously. Headed for the rest of the series and loving it.
Another fun adventure novel, and the sequel to The Scarlet Pimpernel. It continues telling the story of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel as they attemp to save more aristocrats from the Reign of Terror. It's not terribly interested in historical accuracy, but that's probably what makes it fun. The main characters are endearing, but you find yourself saying, 'Don't do it. It's just what they want you to do!' quite often. Sometimes the female characters are annoying because they are too much the stereotypical Victorian female, but you are still drawn into their lives and hope for their success. I recommend this book if you've read The Scarlet Pimpernel and you really liked it.
This is the second of the author's Scarlet Pimpernal books, and while I enjoyed the first one, this one seemed to be much the same. Percy is always strong and handsome, his wardrobe is always exsquisite, and he always speaks in a lazy drawl. His wife, Marguerite is always fashionably dressed, terribly in love with her husband and makes exactly the same stupid mistakes she made in the first book! Really, this is just to much when she's supposed to be the most intelligent of women.
The level of adventure in this one is great! I read it the other night and couldn't put it down. In fact, I stayed up ridiculously late reading it until I finished.
Readers are treated to a deeper look into Chauvelin's character. I, for one, even found myself liking him a little... at least in comparison to his comarades in the Revolution... even though he was the most vicious in his attempts to harm our hero and his wife.
Percy was also interesting is this - as usual. Of course his actions as the Scarlet Pimpernel were entertaining as always. But also his relationships with both Chauvelin and Marguerite were allowed to develop a little more. As was stated in another review here, he does get in a few really good jabs at Chauvelin and there is also a long conversation between the two in which their reactions to each other can be further enjoyed. I was also interested in the discovery of just where his relationship with Marguerite sits in his priorities (one of the biggest points of the book I think). Previous books had alluded to the answer... but in this one the answer was made clear again.
As for Marguerite, I can't give her much in the way of points at all. She was both very whiny and yes, stupid. Not at all one of the cleverest women in Europe (even Chauvelin was in agreement on this within the book). Still, I found myself sort of understanding some of her concerns... and a few of her thoughts. And certainly I was still hoping for the best for her by the end. Again, I did like seeing some of interactions between her in Percy... especially at public gatherings.
Love, love, LOVE! this series. 6 books surrounding one dashing hero. I've long enjoyed the 2nd book--this one, the one upon which the movie classic (The Scarlet Pimpernel) was made.
