The first and most successful in the Baroness&#8217;s series of books that feature Percy Blakeney, who leads a double life as an English fop and a swashbuckling rescuer of aristocrats, <i>The Scarlet Pimpernel</i> was the blueprint for what became known as the masked-avenger genre. As Anne Perry writes in her Introduction, the novel &#8220;has almost reached its first centenary, and it is as vivid and appealing as ever because the plotting is perfect. It is a classic example of how to construct, pace, and conclude a plot. . . . To rise on the crest of laughter without capsizing, to survive being written, rewritten, and reinterpreted by each generation, is the mark of a plot that is timeless and universal, even though it happens to be set in England and France of 1792.&#8221; Minimize

Product Description

 
The first and most successful in the Baroness&#8217;s series of books that feature Percy Blakeney, who leads a double life as an English fop and a swashbuckling rescuer of aristocrats, <i>The Scarlet Pimpernel</i> was the blueprint for what became known as the masked-avenger genre. As Anne Perry writes in her Introduction, the novel &#8220;has almost reached its first centenary, and it is as vivid and appealing as ever because the plotting is perfect. It is a classic example of how to construct, pace, and conclude a plot. . . . To rise on the crest of laughter without capsizing, to survive being written, rewritten, and reinterpreted by each generation, is the mark of a plot that is timeless and universal, even though it happens to be set in England and France of 1792.&#8221;

Who was that not quite masked man?!

by   jsgoddess ,  Oct 16, 2000
Pros: great story, good characters
Cons: "outdated" language and style
Review: I have a weakness for "masked men" literature, or media in general. Is this the moment Lois realizes Clark is Superman? Will the police put another warrant out for the arrest of the Green Hornet, not knowing he is really publisher Brit Reed?...
Author's Rating: 5/5 stars  
 

I've Just Rediscovered this book

by   naphtalia ,  Nov 13, 2000
Pros: wonderfully written adventure tale
Cons: the books that follow in the series don't live up to the first
Review: My mother always told me that there is a reason that classics remain classics. The Scarlet Pimpernel proves this. When I was nine, I discovered the Three Musketeers. After devouring all of the Dumas's works, I asked the librarian for something more. She...
