The Scarlet Pimpernel Gby Baroness Orczy
Fiction
This is one of my favorite classics. I was first exposed to it in the form of a play at the Kennedy Center in D.C., which I admittedly didn't totally grasp. Since then, I've read it twice and totally enjoyed it both times.
Though it sounds kinda wimpy, it's a sweet plot of espionage and trickery. And the French are the bad guys (Revolutionaries- rightly so).
On a lesser note, it includes a significant romantic underlying story. Acceptable in guy terms and good according to my wife.
