A timeless novel of adventure, intrigue, and romance is sparked by one man's defiance in the face of authority... Armed with only his wits and his cunning, one man recklessly defies the French revolutionaries and rescues scores of innocent men, women, and children from the deadly guillotine. His friends and foes know him only as the Scarlet Pimpernel. But the ruthless French agent Chauvelin is sworn to discover his identity and to hunt him down. There have been many imitations of The Scarlet Pimpernel, but none has ever equaled its superb sense of color and drama and its irresistible gift of wonderfully romantic escape. | The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
