'Every step the Scarlet Pimpernel takes on French soil is fraught
with danger' The French Terror is raging, and few are safe from the
threat of the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney, a foppish Englishman,
decides to rescue imprisoned aristocrats before they can be
executed. Showing great daring and aided by a band of brave
comrades, he disguises himself as the formidable Scarlet Pimpernel.
But will his beautiful French wife Marguerite unwittingly prove his
downfall? Baroness Orczy's swashbuckling 1905 novel set the
standard for all future tales of masked avengers and was later
adapted into a famous stage play and several film versions. The
Penguin English Library - collectable general readers' editions of
the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century to the end
