The Scarlet Pimpernel is an amazing book, perhaps as amazing as the author's full name (Baroness Emmuska Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy!)If you want to get a good idea of this book, you need only read the first sentence before it draws you in: "A surging, seething murmuring crowd, of beings that are human only in nave, for to the eye and ear they seem naught but savage creatures, animated by vile passions and by the lust of vengeance and of hate."
The Scarlet Pimpernel is a great classic and a must-read for everyone.
