If you loved The Scarlet Pimpernel, or are a fan of early 19th century swashbuckling adventures, then you'll love this book. This was the second book (along with the Scarlet Pimpernel) that was the basis for the Anthony Andrews/Jane Seymour classic movie. Eldorado is the story of how the Pimpernel escapes prison and saves the Dauphin. The first part of the book shows Armand to be a bit of a putz, and his whirlwind romance is a bit too whirlwind to be realistic. But hey, such was the genre at the time. Overall, I really liked it.
