I read The Scarlet Pimpernel years ago and enjoyed it. It appears to have drawn quite a few fans even though it was written a hundred years ago. I had not known that there were several books in the series (they are going on my e-reader as I type) and since I enjoy swashbucklers and intrigue, I think I’ll be enjoying them.
There have been several movies, starting (in my experience) with the one starring Leslie Howard as The Pimpernel.
I love costume dramas.
How could I not?

Derring-do, an unexpected hero masquerading as a fop,
A beautiful heroine (who wears some smashing hats!) who does not know that her husband, whom she loves, loves her to distraction…
Danger, deceit, swords…
Escapes from the guillotine – a formidable (and rather sexy) villain (here with words from the musical – sung by Terrence Mann – combined with a montage of video clips)…
What more can anyone want?
How about a test to see where you fit in?
