The Scarlet Pimpernel

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy

The first and most successful in the Baroness book series featuring Percy Blakeney, who leads a double life as an English fop and swashbuckling savior of aristocrats, The Scarlet Pimpernel was the model for what became known as the masked avenger genre. . As Anne Perry writes in her Introduction, the novel "has almost reached its first centennial, and is as vivid and captivating as ever because the plot is perfect. It's a classic example of how to build, stimulate and end a storyline. . . . Climbing on the crest of laughter without capsizing, surviving being written, rewritten and reinterpreted by every generation, is the sign of a plot that is timeless and universal, even if it is set in England and France in 1792 ".
