Reviews

Vintage Pimpernel, told mostly from stranger's voice


(5 stars)

Enjoyable, amusing, and brief tales. the sort that fill in the gaps of Sir Percy's and Chauvelin's tortured relationship. A variety of readers with varied levels of experience aided me nicely in knowing these stories, and I am grateful for their complimentary service.

nicely done


(4 stars)

Thank you all for this enjoyable reading


(4 stars)

The story is enjoyable but some of the narration is stilted. It is worth listening through even with this difficulty!

Humor, Adventure, Suspense


(5 stars)

Thank You, to all the LibriVox volunteers. This book elaborates some of the adventures of The Scarlett Pimpernel's rescues whilst away from his English Manor and long suffering Wife. Very clever, always on offense, and easily, one of my favorite "Heroes" .

Good book


(4 stars)

interesting account of the turbulent times in France. not as good as the first book though


(5 stars)

Some sequels are flops ... but these sequels are perfect! Some readers need vocabulary correction, otherwise well done.

Fun stories
