The Scarlet Pimpernel

The Start of a beautiful friendship

It is always wonderful to stumble upon a new well written book series, even better when the reader can tackle English to French with such immaculate fluency. These books have mystery, heroics, comedy, the best DANDY, and an interesting historical setting. Karen Savage does the works such justice! A few of the other books are read by others, hopefully you won't be the type to insult their well above average work just because we've been spoiled with Karen.

This is the third or fourth time listening/reading this book. It is a cleverly and beautifully told story full of fantastic plots, daring characters, and true love, courage, and sacrifice. I would recommend it to any good reader and thinker. And the reader -- Karen Savage is the best reader I have ever heard. Her accents and intonations are beautiful and accurate. I can be never read Sir Percy without hearing her drawly, affected tones... Overall, a masterpiece!

If she is the smartest woman in Britain then there's not much hope for us! Though this was a lovely little book that reminds us of how we cling to our preconceptions about people and refuse to see the difference of our opinions​ and the truth when it comes to our friends and family.

great reading

Here on librivox I always give the stars to the reader and not the story, and this reader was perfect. I liked how nicely she pronounced the French words and her French accent was also convincing. The book is a light and easy romantic adventure story. I got through it but I couldn't care much about the characters. The affection of the main characters for each other seems to come out of nowhere. Our protagonist is apparently the cleverest woman in England but can't seem to figure out anything for herself. When things get intense she swoons, naturally.

I’ve been a fan of the Scarlet Pimpernel since I was little; my mom and I watched the movies and when I got my first kindle I started reading the books, so I’d already read this one when I found LibriVox. I love listening to Karen’s reading when I’m relaxing with my yarn and knitting needles (yes, I’m an old soul in a 20 year old’s body). Her pronunciation of the French words is really good and she reads at an even tempo. I hope one of the big audio book companies spots her. She’s a very talented reader

Amazing!

One of my all time favourite stories, absolutely brilliant!! Karen Savage does the most wonderful job reading, she portrayed all of the emotions and characters to perfection. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves adventure, romance and interesting storylines. You will fall in love with all the characters and immediately want to read all of the other Scarlet Pimpernel books out there.

karen is a fantastic reader, as ever

karen savage brings so much to this fun novel, and reading this book is like going to a summer popcorn blockbuster, it's not Shakespeare but its loads of fun, be aware that if you are a fan of this Anthony Andrews/Jane Seymour mini, that you won't be disappointed but they didn't follow the book much at all

This is an awesome book! With revenge, adventure and romance. It is most definitely one of my favorite books of all time! Thank you Baroness Orczy! There is one problem about the reader, Karen Savage, she skips paragraphs and such. She messes up with her reading too, but all in all, it is quit an enchanting book.
