4.0 out of 5 stars
Fun Short Stories,
This review is from: League of the Scarlet Pimpernel (Hardcover)
League of the Scarlet Pimpernel is an entertaining collection of short stories about Sir Percy Blakeney's adverntures outwitting the French Revolutionary Government. And, among the stories "The Traitor" was probably the most interesting--- What would happen if the Scarlet Pimpernel had a traitor among his league? Would he escape with his life?

not what I expected,
By Dawn N (Greenville, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: League of the Scarlet Pimpernel (Hardcover)
I was expecting a regular Scarlet Pimpernel novel, rather than a collection of Scarlet Pimpernel stories. I was disappointed with my selection. I had hoped to get more insight into the actual League, but the stories did not reveal any new information.

A review of The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel, and the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel.,
This review is from: League of the Scarlet Pimpernel (Hardcover)
These books is excellent! Other reviewers have critisized the fact these are books of short storys. But I think that is the best part about them! You can read adventure after adventure without having to endure hours of suspence. You can completely imerse yourself in Pimpernel Adventures without having to endure some of the excrutiatingly long desciptive paragraphs which delay many of her books(personally I find myself skipping whole paragraphs from some of Orczy's novels just to get back to the dialog and adventure.)One thing I have noticed though is that the more pimpernel books I read, the easier it is to sense what is happening. When I first read The Scarlet Pimpernel and The Elusive Pimpernel I found that I was asking myself HOW IS HE POSSIBLY GOING TO ESCAPE!!!! After reading more of her novels I found myself asking istead "I wonder what he is going to devise to escape this time!" Which is fine with me. Now I am in no means saying that these storys are predictable. They provide plenty of twists and turns to suite any Pimpernel addict. I could go on but your probly bored already. I will then briefly give a list of my favorite stories in each. (I love Percy vs. Chauvelin confrontations so you can guess that these storys are full of them) The Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel: Fie Sr. Percy The Stranger from Paris Fly-By-Night In the Tiger's Den(My Favorite) The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel: Sir Percy Explains Needs Must-- A Battle of Wits They are all good but those are some of my favorites. -E
