'The Scarlet Pimpernel' by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is another one of my very favorite books. It is the story of Sir Percy Blakeney, an English gentleman, who sneaks into France and rescues the French royals from their fate with madame guillotine during the French Revolution. Although this book's setting is a dark and dreary one, the author manages to throw humor and romance into this story that leaves the reader completely captivated. Everyone should read this novel at least once in their lifetime, so put it on your list.
Also, this just happens to be one of my very favorite movies as well, but if you watch it you need to watch the 1982 version with Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour. They are amazing together. Ah! I just love, love, love this story!
Love and love!! Such a great movie and book!!!
