The Scarlet Pimpernel

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905) is Baroness Emma Orczy's classic adventure-romance of the French Revolution. Paris, September 1792: aristocrats are dragged to the guillotine while a mysterious Englishman — the Scarlet Pimpernel — spirits them away one by one, always leaving a small scarlet flower as his signature, and taunting the revolutionary agent Chauvelin with his own scarlet-pimpernel song. No one knows his identity. In England, the gorgeous Marguerite St. Just has married Sir Percy Blakeney, the richest and seemingly most brainless fop in London; secretly, beneath his foolish drawl, Percy is the Scarlet Pimpernel himself, and the League he commands smuggles the doomed nobles across the Channel. Chauvelin, bent on capturing him, seizes Marguerite's brother Armand and forces her to betray her husband for her brother's life. Learning that his wife has sold his secret, Percy must choose between safety and love — he sails for France to rescue both his brother-in-law and his wife from the guillotine, pursued by Chauvelin through the perilous streets of Paris, the fisherman's rest, the hut of Père Blanchard, and the sands of Calais. A story of masks, honour and devotion, it created one of the most beloved heroes in popular fiction.
