Baroness Orczy certainly gave us great entertainment with the character the Scarlet Pimpernel, becoming a series of books, this being the first and the best. Originally Orczy wrote a play and with the success of that in 1905 this novel was published.It is the height of the Terror in France, but over in England there is a band of men who are willing to risk all to save French aristocrats from the guillotine. An elusive league of gentlemen, led by the Scarlet Pimpernel, who is only known to them, who could this man be? With the daring escapes of aristocrats right under the noses of the French regime this is definitely someone who is a thorn in their side, and whom they would love to get hold of and execute.Chauvelin has been sent over the Channel to try and identify this unknown gentleman and follow him, trying to prevent more escapes. And with his machinations, including a bit of blackmail he may just be able to get onto the scent of our hero.This works on so many levels, although not appreciated by many today the Pimpernel has the characteristics that were to become better known throughout the world when comics and superheroes came upon the scene. There is the secret identity and the always managing to ultimately stay one step ahead of the enemy. Packed with excitement, derring-do, disguises, romance and heroism this does make for a thrilling read.With a wife afraid that she has lost the respect and love of her husband, and the awkward position she is put into where she realises that she will have to endanger either her brother or her husband so there are lots of elements to this fast paced read. I am slightly envious of someone coming to this for the first time, as I have read it so many times over the years that I know what is going to happen next, although that doesn’t take away from my enjoyment of this.Always remember:-‘We seek him here, we seek him thereThose Frenchies seek him everywhere!Is he in heaven? Or is he in hell?That demmed Elusive Pimpernel?’

Although most memorable for its portrayal of a group of aristocratic Englishmen rescuing their unfortunate counterparts from revolutionary France, The Scarlet Pimpernel is in essence a love story.It is primarily told from the point of view of Marguerite St. Just, now married to Sir Percy Blakeney. Marguerite is French and through a misunderstanding between Percy and Marguerite shortly after they marry, Percy is left with the impression that Marguerite has betrayed some of her friends in France. Both Percy and Marguerite have come to believe that the love they once had has been lost.The principal story is how Marguerite comes to learn that there is far more to her husband than she believed and how important their love for one another is. The secondary story of the Scarlet Pimpernel and his daring exploits is the one that we all remember. This is the story that brought us “They seek him here, they seek him there, those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in Heaven or is he in hell, that demned elusive Pimpernel.”An entertaining and enduring novel.

This is a "must read" classic. It deals with the very real dangers and terrors and aspirations of the French Revolution, and how some brave heroes tried to mitigate its worst effects. We all need heroes, but even heroes don't always do personal relationships well, blackmail and naivety also play a part in this emotional historical suspense story. Don't expect a modern day thriller, but enjoy getting to grips with attitudes in a changing world.
