The Scarlet Pimpernel

This is one of my top 5 books of all time. I read it for the first time when I was a bright-eyed teenager in love with books. It brought me to tears. It also opened up my love for historical fiction. What's better than well-written, exciting fiction that also teaches you about history? A classic that not enough people know about! Set in the time of the French Revolution. FAN-TASTIC! I'm quite sure Hollywood will be making a remake of this book sometime in the near future! However, you will regret not reading this in its original format. It's also a great one to listen to via audio with the family!
