Author(s): Baroness Orczy

Folio Society | Secondhand

Secondhand. Second printing. Introduced by Hilary Mantel.

A timeless novel of adventure, intrigue, and romance is sparked by one man's defiance in the face of authority.

Orczy became famous in 1905 with the publication of The Scarlet Pimpernel (originally a play co-written with her husband). Its background of the French Revolution and swashbuckling hero, Sir Percy Blakeney, was to prove immensely popular.
