When French aristocrats become targets of public violence, a
mysterious hero called the Scarlet Pimpernel works to find and
safely smuggle them outside the country. Meanwhile, an accredited
agent is desperate to uncover his secret identity. During the
French Revolution, many members of the upper-class are publicly
brutalized and executed. This leads to the creation of an
underground society called the "League of the Scarlet Pimpernel.”
Their leader is the unassuming, Sir Percy Blakeney, a baronet
who’s married to the beautiful but troubled, Marguerite St. Just.
Their relationship is strained due to her complicated history and
his false persona. When an ambitious French officer attempts to
expose the Scarlet Pimpernel’s true identity, Sir Percy and
Marguerite, become unexpected pawns in his plan. With The Scarlet
Pimpernel, Baroness Orczy delivers one of the most iconic novels of
the twentieth century. It’s a memorable story that’s been
adapted multiple times, producing sequels and short story
collections. This is the first entry in an expansive series from a
brilliant and imaginative author. With an eye-catching new cover,
and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Scarlet
Pimpernel is both modern and readable.
