Scarlet Pimpernel Sequels (Books)
Hi Everyone,
I'm so glad I found and joined this community! I've been obsessed with The Scarlet Pimpernel ever since I saw the rather disliked A and E version. I shamelessly enjoyed it so I went and read the book. My Mum found the DVD a few years back and bought it as a family present, and somewhat ironically, seeings as that version is wildly inaccurate to the book, I still shamelessly enjoy it. Old loves die hard and all of that.
Also, Martin Shaw as Chauvelin was one of my first ever childhood actor terrors. He was a terrifying villain because he was so smart but also so conflicted. I really liked that element of the A and E version. Well, to be honest I like all of it. It's not remotely accurate to the books but there's just something about it that I love in an AU fan fic kind of way.
Anyway, I just discovered that the sequel books are free on kindle and I am reading them in published order. I am up to The Elusive Pimpernel. I am just wondering which books in the series are everyone's favourites?
Also, I know that the Chauvelin/Marguerite/Sir Percy triangle was inserted into the films later, but I kind of would love to know how Marguerite met Chauvelin and got involved with him romantically in the context of the 80s and 90s versions. Has anyone written any fan fic of this?
Thank you :)
