Tweety’s recommendation of The Scarlet Pimpernel > Likes and Comments

I have that one but never read it, it looks soooo good! Exactly what I love! I don't know the hell I'm waiting for?!?

I don't know why you are waiting either. It wonderful! There is a good movie adaption of it with Jane Seymour. The movie is actually The Scarlet Pimpernel and El Dorado: Further Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel. Which is another good book. :-)

Awesome!! :) I will watch after I read! I love knowing there's a good movie waiting after I read a book!

Me too!
And it's not violent like the 1999 version. When/If you see it I'd love to hear whether you liked it. :-)

Ok I will let you know :)

I was going to recommend this one too. I also liked the prequel, The Laughing Cavalier

I didn't know there was a prequel!! Do they need to be read in order?

I don't thinks so. There's a significant time/generation gap between the books and I don't think any of the same characters, though it is about the Blakeney family. Like jumping from these old shades to an infamous army.

No, they don't need to be in order. I started with this one and El Dorado, now I'm reading all the others in order because the first one that is in croncicological order,( SP's grandfather) is written expecting you to already know the Scarlet Pimpernel and has another coming right after it that is the further doings of The Laughing Caviler, which is the first. ;)

Tweety, is that The First Sir Percy? I tried to find a copy years ago (before kindle) but couldn't. Now I see there is an ebook for it on amazon. Have you read it? Do you like it?

Yes! Thanks, I'd forgotten the title. I had that problem too, even now I would prefer the hardbacks, just for the pleasure of seeing them lined up. :)
