Percy Blake, the forefather of the Scarlet Pimpernel, is hired to
kidnap a young woman with sensitive information regarding the
potential assassination of a prince. It’s a complex family drama
that ties into a mystery surrounding an artist’s most acclaimed
work. Percy Blake is the adopted son of Dutch painter Frans Hals.
He was originally born to an English nobleman who eventually
abandoned he and his mother. Set in seventeenth-century Holland,
Blake works on the streets under the alias, Diogenes. He’s a
mercenary who’s hired to kidnap a young woman who discovers her
brother is a part of plot to kill the Prince of Orange. To prevent
her from spoiling their plans, Blake apprehends his target but
slowly has a change of heart. The Laughing Cavalier: The Story of
the Ancestor of the Scarlet Pimpernel is a rich blend of fact and
fiction. Baroness Orczy expands the legend of the famous hero in a
new and exciting way. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Laughing
Cavalier: The Story of the Ancestor of the Scarlet Pimpernel is
both modern and readable.
