Book Overview

There has of late years crept so much confusion into the mind of the student as well as of the general reader as to the identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel with that of the Gascon Royalist plotter known to history as the Baron de Batz, that the time seems opportune for setting all doubts on that subject at rest. The identity of the Scarlet Pimpernel is in no way whatever connected with that of the Baron de Batz, and even superficial reflection will soon bring the mind to the conclusion that great fundamental differences existed in these two men, in their personality, in their character, and, above all, in their aims.

Eldorado

Eldorado was one of the best Pimpernel books . It starts of slowly with Armand and a couple of new characters then Percy gets heavily envolved followed by Marguerite, Ffoukles, and of course Chauvelin.The end is really exciting and as usual very masterly done. The intrigue in this book rests on the person who Sir Percy is trying to rescue. (No it's not Marguerite)

Sleepless in Paris

When Armand St. Just falls in love, he must choose between his loyalty to the Scarlet Pimpernel and his passion for the woman of his dreams. The question is, how far will he go to protect her? Armand tells Percy, "You do not know what it is to love." And Percy agrees with him!By far, Eldorado is one of the Baroness' best works. However, the text has been heavily edited. There are sentences, paragraphs, and whole chapters...

"You do no know what it is to love."---St. Just

This is definatley one of the best in the Scarlet Pimpernel series, if not THE best of those I've read thus far (seeing that most of the books are out of print). The story greatly depends on the power of love, from friendship love to romantic love. For Armand St. Just, the brother-in-law of the incredulous Sir Percy Blakeney, love gets him into trouble and causes him to doubt his role in the league of the Pimpernel. ...
