The Scarlet Pimpernel
Have you ever seen this movie or read this book? I read this years ago and really liked it and also watched the movie.
In fact, Sir Percy is a poet and has a poem that he recites about the Scarlet Pimpernel. The scarlet pimpernel is actually a red flower.
This novel was written about the French Revolution and Sir Percy was a fool or so others thought but he was actually the brains behind the rescues of the aristocracy.
People are not always as they appear to be...
