One of the best readers

Karan's reading is excellent. Surely she's a professional doing some pro bono work. If not, we should find a way to get this most talented volunteer into the biz.
Great story, Excellently Read

Karen Savage is by far the best reader I've heard on LibriVox! I'm always very happy to find titles read by her. Especially when there're French words to read, she doesn't stumble at them, but glides right through with perfect accent, cadence and intonation. And her expression and and skill of reading are so perfectly pleasant, very engaging, not droning monotone, not overly dramatic or with awkward forced voicing. Super high quality. The Elusive Pimpernel is very good too - a great balance of history, adventure, intrigue and romance. And it's accesible...not too heady, and doesn't require too much active thinking to follow and stay engaged.
Top quality recording

Wow! I can't believe Karan Savage records on a volunteer basis. The quality is better than many professional audio books that I've listened to. Definitely one of my favorites.
Very good audiobook!
David Sanchez
As always Miss Savage is very good reading English and French, so this is a very good audiobook and it is read wonderfully! The story is not as good as the original Scarlet Pimpernel, but it is a nice sequel.
excellent!
Steven Schramm
great to have a single, accomplished, and capable reader. the intonations were so consistent it was easy to follow parts. The command of French was incredible and added to the authenticity. Karen Savage is becoming our favorite reader
easy listening

it's wonderfully read, and a very pleasant book overall. I felt like there where times when my attention drifted because it was a bit long winded. overall I was very happy with book and reader.

While it’s somewhat slow in the beginning; and seems to lean heavily on describing the re-awakened relationship between Percy and Marguerite; the pace picks up and delivers a good old -fashioned adventure. Outstanding narrator.
excellent!

this is the 3rd book I've listened to read by Karen Savage. I would gladly listen to any book she reads as her intonation and pronunciation of different languages is quite good indeed.
