Description
The Scarlet Pimpernel
Author: Baroness Orczy
Hard cover in protective box cover. Excellent condition. Folio Society edition.
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy is a swashbuckling adventure set during the Reign of Terror in the French Revolution, following the daring exploits of a mysterious English hero who rescues aristocrats from the guillotine. Known only by his secret alias, the Scarlet Pimpernel—an apparently frivolous English nobleman in public—outwits the ruthless Agent Chauvelin with disguises, deception and bold courage. The story is told partly through the eyes of Marguerite Blakeney, whose loyalty and love are tested as she is drawn into the deadly intrigue surrounding the Pimpernel’s missions. Blending romance, suspense and high adventure, the novel became a classic tale of heroism and hidden identity.
