A wonderful post, and full of interesting information that is helpful to me as I am writing an urban fiction novel where the heart of the Dauphin is a minor character. Thank you so much!
By the way, I really loved Anthony Andrews’ version of The Scarlet Pimpernel and find it only surpassed by the 1999 mini series starring Richard E. Grant. You have admirable taste in literature!
Thank you very much for the compliment! I truly recommend reading the book as well as visiting Saint Denis, if possible.
As to the Scarlet Pimpernel, I think Andrews is best! I make fun of his nose but seriously, he is Percy!
Thanks for stopping by and please check back in! Keep me posted on the book as well. Good Luck!
