She was born in Tarnaors, Heves Country, Hungary and was the daughter of composer Baron Felix Orczy and Countess Emma Wass. She is chiefly remerberd as author of The Scarlet Pimpernal, one of the greatest popular successes of the 20th century. An attractive blend of romance, intrigue,and suspense, this timeless historical adventure recalls the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution, when ruthless mobs ruled the streets of Paris and hundreds of royalists were sacrificed to the guillotine each day. The only hope of many was a brave and dashing leader who smuggled French aristocrats across the Channel to England and safety. Known by the name of the wildflower he leaves as a calling card, the pimpernel becomes the darling of the people and si particulary admired by Marguerite Blakeney, who mocks her foppish husband as ardently as she admires this gallant hero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Baroness Orczy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 256\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9789380005003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011-09-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20.0 x 5.0 x 25.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs The Scarlet Pimpernel available in paperback or hardcover?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for the paperback edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Scarlet Pimpernel\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat language is this edition in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis edition is in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Scarlet Pimpernel is written by Baroness Orczy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow fast does Bookston ship?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping is free on every order, with no minimum.
