Fun story and great reader
Kim Qian
This is a great story with action, suspense, comedy, and romance. Very fun and well written. It is also wonderfully read. Karen is a wonderful expressive reader.
Better than I expected

I began listening to this book and after the first chapter, I thought it wasn't going to appeal to me. However, I came back to it a couple of months later and listened to the entire book. It was entertaining throughout and excellently read. I recommend it to anyone who loves a happy ending.
Incredible little book
David
I can't believe ai haven't read this before. It's a perfect storm of adventure, intrigue and romance. 11 out of 10. Absolutely love it. And the tact! I will definitely be on the lookout for more Baroness Orczy books
Very Fun!

The Scarlet Pimpernel is a tolerably well-written adventure story. If frequently repeated phrases don’t bother you (peremptory, or low, musical voice, or childlike face,etc) then you’ll probably enjoy this book. Once again, Karen Savage is a delight to listen to. I knew she was talented in English accents, so when she proved to be comfortable in French I was quite pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend!
Phil Walker
Absolutely brilliant reading. Karen Savage pronunciation of all the French words makes this reading. I was riveted like no other librovox title. I have literally listened to this book like 5 times. Ms. Savage you have my eternal gratitude. I have listened to a thousand titles, this was the finest of them all.
Full of Adventure
A LibriVox Listener
Karen Savage was the best reader I've ever heard. She brought this adventure filled story to life. I really enjoyed it and will search for more stories read by her. Well done Ms. Savage.

Karen Savage is amazing. Not knowing French, I appreciate the presumably accurate pronunciation. I will now search out titles read by Karen (I greatly enjoyed another), as one of her fans.
