So fun! I loved it. Totally frivolous and charming - I will definitely re-read this one. I had seen the musical, the movie, etc. and am pleased with the inspiration of the same. Love the Scarlet Pimpernel!

I like the movie so much more. Great story, not great writing.

Pretty fun but like couldn’t Margaurite be at least somewhat useful?

Dated writing (as you would expect, given it was published in 1905), but such a phenomenal story, and one that has acted as a foundation for countless stories since.
