Since I have already written two blogs about this series there is little more for me to say about them as a whole! However, this is the final installment to the series, and one of my favorites!
The book is comprised of the many endeavors of the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel. They are all fun, short, stories that tell the reader of the many deeds of the English protagonist. I believe there are 12 stories all ranging in length in this book. Overall, they were really fun reads and extremely well thought out!
I am glad I have read the whole series and believe that most people should read it as well! They are great historical classics! Though biased and fictional, they do paint an accurate picture of the French Revolution. They are wonderful adventure books!!!

Week 23: Lord Tony's Wife by Baroness Orczy
Wow! I have so much catch up to do! These past few months have been a whirlwind of activities and events! However, I have kept on reading... just not as frequently!
I chose this book to read because I really love the Scarlet Pimpernel series! It is the 6th book in the series, and is full of adventure and daring!!! The book is about an aristocrat who is kidnapped from her husband in England and transported to France. The Scarlet Pimpernel hears about her kidnapping and follows her to Nantes. The Pimpernel then tries to rescue her from her terrible fate!
The book is mainly told from the perspective of the bad guys. Which creates the necessary suspense need to create the plot line. However, I would like to more often read the story from the hero's perspective. Really none of the series is told from the protagonists point of view which means the reader cannot connect as easily with him! However, when all is said and done I really do enjoy this book immensely!
