Just SillyBy Douglas J. BassettIn Revolutionary-era France, a woman is saved from a rabid mob by the man who killed her brother years ago, the man she's sworn to destroy.I have a fairly high tolerance for melodrama and melodramatic sequences and even I found this one just plain silly. Orczy on some level seems to agree, as she starts the book with a long explanation/justification for a character who would do such odd things in the story -- presumably to try and make her more plausible? I guess? I'm not sure it really works, at the very least you can feel the heavy degree of contrivance in it. The love interest, humorously, is just stick-stone stupid -- it's the only way the melodrama/story can play out, but it's impossible to take him seriously. Basically beefcake, to be honest about it, just done a little more sophisticated than one is used to seeing nowadays.My guess is that this was a test run to see if a series was possible -- the Scarlet Pimpernel appears here, but strictly in a supporting role. As such it worked, but you can probably skip it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Scarlet Pimpernel, Don't Blink Or You'll Miss HimBy TheWhistlerUnto itself this story, if fleshed out, would be an enjoyable read. However, regarded as part of 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' series I would expect said character to make more than a cameo appearance, and since I consider the series to be more of romance than adventure Marguerite is no where to be seen, perhaps she is in disguise? A poor imitation of the Percy, Maeguerite relationship.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. The sequel to the Scarlet PimpernelBy Michael T KennedyThis is Baroness Orczy's sequel to her classic Scarlet Pimpernel. The protagonist is a wealthy Parisian lawyer who is forced into a duel with a rich young wastrel ten years before the Revolution. The Revolution finds the same lawyer a well regarded deputy in the Assembly. He is a philanthropist and well loved, even by the Paris mob. Unbeknown to him, the young sister of the man he killed in the duel has sworn revenge on him. They meet and the action takes off from there. The Pimpernel makes his appearance and the ending is happy. It is not as good a read as the first novel but worth while if you like this genre. I Will Repay was written by Baroness Emmuska Orczy and originally published in 1906, this is a sequel novel to the Scarlet Pimpernel. The second Pimpernel book written by Orczy, it comes chronologically third in the series, after Sir Percy Leads the Band and before The Elusive Pimpernel. About the AuthorBaroness Emma Orczy (1865-1945) was born in Hungary, the daughter of a baron. Raised in wealth among the aristocracy, she determined to achieve success as a painter and illustrator before starting a writing career. She wrote in English, although she did not speak the language until she was fifteen, and she produced many short stories and detective novels. Her greatest success came with the historical adventure novel The Scarlet Pimpernel.Johanna Ward (a.k.a. Kate Reading) is an Audie(R) Award-winning narrator and has received numerous Earphones Awards from AudioFile magazine. She is also a theater actor in the Washington, DC, area and has been a member of Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company since 1987. Her work onstage has been recognized by the Helen Hayes Awards Society, among others. She and her husband live in Hyattsville, Maryland, with their two children.From AudioFilePublished in 1906, this tale of high romance and intrigue, set during the bloodiest days of the French Revolution, is the first of several sequels to The Scarlet Pimpernel. It has aged well. Johanna Ward is fun to listen to. She puts the author's rather melodramatic prose in the best possible light by reading with restraint, gravity and authority. She also renders fluently the frequent names and phrases in French. Although character voices are not highly differentiated, it's always clear who's speaking and how he or she feels. Good production values top off the welcome reappearance of an old friend. J.N.

Orczy is vooral bekend geworden door haar serie historische romans over The Scarlet Pimpernel. (foto: Het Spectrum) Detective: The Old Man in the Corner, Londen Bill Owen, “The Old Man” zit in een hoek van een goedkope tearoom waar hij bezoek krijgt van journalisten en hij speelt daarbij met een stukje touw, waarin hij knopen legt terwijl hij praat. Hij richt zich in het bijzonder tot Polly Burton, een jonge journaliste van de Evening Observer, waarmee hij heeft kennis gemaakt en hij wijst haar op misdaden die in de krant worden genoemd. Hij vat de omstandigheden samen, beschrijft de personen en komt dan hoonlachend met de oplossing die de politie ontgaan is. Zijn deducties zijn voornamelijk gebaseerd op redeneren en intuïtie. Hoewel hij de meeste van zijn oplossingen baseert op krantenreportages, woont hij geen verhoren of rechtszittingen bij, maar bezoekt hij in sommige gevallen wel de plaats van de misdaad. Daarom is er niet helemaal sprake van dat hij niet van zijn plaats afkomt.'The Old Man' kan worden beschouwd als de eerste 'armchair detective'. Er verschenen

More Sir Percy, Please!By Karen AmrheinThis is my ninth Scarlet Pimpernel book, so it's reasonable for you to assume that I enjoy Baroness Orczy's books. I do. I love the character of Sir Percy Blakeney / the Scarlet Pimpernel, but that's also the problem. In this, and some of the other sequels, there's just not enough of him!About a third of "Lord Tony's Wife" is quite wonderful. The story is exciting, Sir Percy and the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are "on screen" doing their thing. Sadly, there's also a long slog through the nasty details of The Terror and the entirely unappealing characters of Representative Carrier and Citizen Martin-Roget / Pierre Adet. The unsavoriness of the French Revolution is spelled out in far too much length, especially for anyone who has read the original "Scarlet Pimpernel" (and why would you be reading this sequel else?) or any of the other sequels."Lord Tony's Wife" has three sections -- Prologue: Nantes, 1789; Book I: Bath, 1793; and Book II: Nantes, December, 1793.

Not the right bookBy JemamiThis was billed as the kindle version of The Scarlet Pimpernel but don't be fooled - it is not the original book. It's either a paraphrase or a kid version but the chapter titles are all different and the wording is definitely not the same as original.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. League of the Scarlet PimpernelBy Kate's TitlesWe seek him here, we seek him there, but Pimpernel novels are hard to find (I know, it doesn't rhyme). I should know, I've been hunting them for years.

  • The Scarlet Pimpernel Is a Musical with Music by Frank Wildhorn and Lyrics and Book by Nan Knighton, Based on the Novel of the Same Name by Baroness Orczy
    The Scarlet Pimpernel is a musical with music by Frank Wildhorn and lyrics and book by Nan Knighton, based on the novel of the same name by Baroness Orczy. The show is set in England and France during the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution. The story is a precursor to the spy fiction and the superhero genres, where a hero hides under a mild-mannered alias. The Scarlet Pimpernel started as a workshop with Carolee Carmello as Marguerite and directed by Nick Corley, following a concept album. The musical debuted on Broadway at the Minskoff Theatre on October 7, 1997 in previews, officially on November 9, 1997. Directed by Peter H. Hunt, it starred Douglas Sills (Sir Percy Blakeney), Christine Andreas (Marguerite St. Just), and Terrance Mann (Citizen Chauvelin). In June shortly before the Tony Awards were announced, the show was slated to close. The show's fans known as "The League" decided it should have another try. With falling ticket sales, the show ushered in new producers and reopened with Sills and two new leads, Rex Smith and Rachel York and a vastly rearranged production in October 1998 (a year after the previous opening). The show closed at the Minskoff Theatre on May 30, 1999. It had a mini-tour of a scaled-down version in the summer of 1999 with three new leads. The revised version…opened on Broadway at the Neil Simon Theatre on September 7, 1999, closing on January 2, 2000 for a grand total of 772 performances and 39 previews. The cast starred Ron Bohmer, Marc Kudisch and Carolee Carmello.
