    the movie with anthony andrews and jane seymour doesn't completely follow the book, but it does weave elements of the first book and of el dorado. it is just as wonderful as the book! marguerite is one of my favorite literary characters and my favorite scene in this book is when she and percy argue outside their home after the garden party and he kisses every spot where she stepped when she stormed into the house. like mr. darcy, they just don't make men like him anymore!

    funny thing, as a teenager, i was enthralled with his daring rescues of the great people of france, as a grown up, i am more inclined to agree with the revolutionaries who like Alice's queen, cried, "Off with their heads!"

    wonderful book, read it 30 yrs ago, but still love it. i think i saw a movie based on it and even though the pimpernel plays a bit the fool, the movie ruined it with slapstick kind of silliness. as a reader i imagined his class and elegance overrode his silly facade...

    This book is just awesome. It is a must-read for all 11-15 year olds. I love all the different ways by which the Scarlet Pimpernal rescues the aristocrats from France. It is a fantastic book.

    wow, an awesome book........

    "We seek him here, we seek him there,
    Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.

    Is he in heaven?
    —Is he in hell?
    That demmed, elusive Pimpernel."

    I simply love the characters of Percy and Marguerite.......
