The range of characters that appear on different pages is pretty fascinating. Some are humorous, some are sweet, some are repulsive, and some are interesting.

These stories are entertaining and provide readers a glimpse into the Scarlet Pimpernel's daily adventures in between his big, terrifying escapades described in the other novels. Baroness Orczy has beautifully consolidated her ideas into a single draft that can be read by readers of several age groups. The League Of The Scarlet Pimpernel is a masterpiece that takes the reader through a roller-coaster of emotions and unlike other novels, makes no qualms in showing tragedy in its true color.
