The Life and Exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel: or A Gay Adventurer

More than three decades after first introducing her immortal hero, Baroness Orczy returned to celebrate him in The Life and Exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel. This work gathers together some of the Pimpernel's greatest adventures, weaving them into a sweeping chronicle of the man behind the legend. Here, readers are given not only the daring escapades and ingenious disguises that made Sir Percy Blakeney a household name, but also a deeper look at his character — his wit, charm, and unshakable devotion to justice in the darkest of times. Set against the terror of the French Revolution, this book stands as both a thrilling anthology of exploits and a tribute to one of literature's first masked heroes, whose legacy has inspired countless adventurers ever since.
