I'm slowly making my way through all the Pimpernel books in chronological order. They're definitely rather same-y, which is why they're fun to read about once every couple of months 😂 This one was a little slow on action and a little long on everyone contemplating potential action, but I still enjoy the absolutely ridiculous melodrama. Published 1908. If you're looking for some fist-shaking villains and a hero who would rather die with honor ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) than live without it!!!! - then you should check out this series. Definitely start with the original, though.

bookandbedandtea I looove the original book (for the melodrama!) but have never read any of the rest of the series; you're inspiring me to seek them out. 10mo
TheAromaofBooks @bookandbedandtea - They are definitely similar in vibe. I've been reading them in chronological rather than published order, so I've already read Sir Percy Leads the Band, I Will Repay (which didn't seem to have as much Pimpernel??), and The League of the Pimpernel (short stories). They can be a little repetitive, so I'm spreading them out. 😂 10mo
