Resumen del Editor
The French Revolution is at the height of its fury. Daily, hundreds of aristocratic heads fall from the guillotine. Emotions run high, and anyone suspected of sympathy toward the nobility is in mortal danger. Only one man is daring enough to lead a small band against popular opinion - the Scarlet Pimpernel. Using masterful disguises and clever strategies, the Scarlet Pimpernel smuggles noblemen and women from France to safety in England. His success is a thorn in the side of the Revolution. As he vanishes from each escapade, he leaves no trace behind except an image of the colorful flower that is his emblem. The Scarlet Pimpernel must be stopped at all costs. But who is he?
This enduring classic is filled with wonderful layers of intrigue and dashing courage. As the cunning hero, and the beautiful woman who loves him, move toward a final victory, the quickened pace is enhanced by Steven Crossley’s dramatic narration.

We weep with the unlucky and heart-broken Fantine, and we exult with the heroic revolutionaries of the barricades; but above all we thrill to the steadfast courage and nobility of soul of ex-convict Jean Valjean, always in danger from the relentless pursuit of the diabolical Inspector Javert.

Historia
Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

Well read.
Good, wholesome, fun. Lovely accents and voices. A bit and expectedly dramatic, and unexpectedly antimodern.

Entertaining every time I read it!
Would you listen to The Scarlet Pimpernel again? Why?
Of course!
This book has it all: Adventure, Love, Deceit, and is an overall wonderful story.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Percy Blakeney.
Although he seems dull-witted and boring, his passion is only kept in check. The story around this fellow unfolds and the reader will understand my choice once they have read the book.
Which character – as performed by Stephen Crossly – was your favorite?
Percy Blakeney again.
The performance brought out the English gentleman's lazy habits through speech.
To bring the mannerisms and lifestyle into a voice is a remarkable gift.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes!
I have read the book several times, and will again.
The performance definitely helped the story come alive in my mind.
Any additional comments?
I love this book, have read it several times, and will do so again.
This audio adaptation is amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Classic story, Marguerite's voice was annoying
I have always loved the story and love it still. The narrator did a great job of portraying Sir Percy Blakeney but did not capture Marguerite that well, which really detractrd from the quality of the story.

Enjoyable classic
This is a dramatic story, enjoyable to listen to, and, fortunately, today women are considered on more equal terms with men.
