The Scarlet Pimpernel is a riveting tale of daring and heroism set during the upheaval and violence of the French Revolution. The novel follows the story of Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy English baronet with a secret identity as the Scarlet Pimpernel, a daring and elusive hero who rescues French aristocrats from the guillotine. As the Reign of Terror sweeps through France, the Scarlet Pimpernel risks his life to smuggle men, women, and children out of the country and to safety in England. He outwits the ruthless agents of the revolutionary government at every turn, leaving them frustrated and baffled by his sudden appearances and disappearances. When the beautiful French actress Marguerite St. Just becomes embroiled in the dangerous world of the Pimpernel, her loyalty and love are put to the test. Can she keep the Pimpernel’s true identity a secret, even when the consequences of discovery are deadly? With its thrilling escapes and a cast of memorable characters, The Scarlet Pimpernel is a swashbuckling adventure full of fast-paced action and vivid depictions of the tumultuous events of the French Revolution. This Warbler Classics edition includes a biographical timeline.
