This classic action-packed adventure story is the ninth book in the ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ series and is perfect for fans of historical adventure fiction and the author Alexandre Dumas. Baroness Emmuska Orczy, (1865— 1947) was a Hungarian-born British author and artist, best known for the swashbuckling adventure novel, ‘The Scarlet Pimpernel’ (1905). A huge success in its day, it prompted several sequels, such as ‘The Elusive Pimpernel’ (1908) and ‘The Way of the Scarlet Pimpernel’ (1933) and has been adapted for stage and screen many times, most notably the eponymous TV series starring Elizabeth McGovern and Richard E. Grant. Baroness Orczy also wrote several detective novels, including ‘Lady Molly of Scotland Yard’ (1910) and ‘Unravelled Knots’ (1925).
