Review:

"Mr Sabatini's novel of the French Revolution has all the colour and lively incident which we expect in his work" (Observer)

"One wonders if there is another storyteller so adroit at filling his pages with intrigue and counter-intrigue, with danger threaded with romance, with a background of lavish colour, of silks and velvets, of swords and jewels" (Daily Telegraph)

"Scaramouche is a wonderfully adventurous story... a splendid novel, whose author fully deserved the fame and fortune it brought him... He gave us great stories and this one, for me, is his best." (Bernard Cornwell)

"[Sabatini] is to be learned from by any who seek instruction in the craft of writing or the matter of history. This century has seen no greater expert in the two combined" (George Macdonald Fraser)

"Mr. Rafael Sabatini is one of the most picturesque of romantic writers and has also a sound equipment as a historian" (Daily Express)

Book Description:

A classic tale of high adventure, the story of a man 'born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad'.
