![]() Vance is one of my favorite narrators and is a multi-award-winning narrator. ![]() ![]() Simon Vance does an excellent job narrating the story even though he could do better, in my opinion, with the pronunciation of French words. The book is eleven hours and fifty-two minutes. He is best known for his worldwide best sellers such as Scaramouche, Captain Blood and Sea Hawk to name a few. Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950) was an Italian-English writer. This will soon be one hundred years old and it is as good today as then. This is a famous swashbuckling novel full of sword fighting, humor and romance. He joins a troupe of traveling players as a clown to hide from authorities. The story is set in the French Revolution. Our protagonist is André-Louis Moreau, a lawyer raised by nobility. I remember I enjoyed the story but cannot remember much about the storyline so, I decided to read this book instead of Scaramouche. This book “Scaramouche: A Romance of the French Revolution” was originally published in 1947. I was unaware there were a number of books published as a series. Scaramouche was originally published in 1921. ![]()
