Descriere magazin:
Volume One containing two adventures: \'The Scarlet Pimpernel\'& \'I Will Repay\' Sir Percy Blakeney is not to be taken too seriously. In late 18th century England he is little more than a man given to trivial pleasures, an aristocratic and wealthy fop, unconcerned with politics or events on the other side of the English Channel where the France of the Bourbons has been violently swept away by the zealots of revolution. What is it to Sir Percy that the \'Reign of Terror\' has cast its shadow over all of France, or that the heads of innocents fall daily into the baskets of the guillotines of the Convention? Nothing? Well no, for Sir Percy is leading a double life with a dangerous secret identity. He is in reality the complete opposite of his apparently \'true\' self. He is \'The Scarlet Pimpernel\', an expert swordsman, a master of disguise, a dare-devil, quick-thinking escape artist and, together with his band of like-minded adventurers, a man on a mission to rescue those unjustly condemned to die. So successful is he in this endeavour that soon \'The Scarlet Pimpernel\' is famous as an heroic defender of the weak and oppressed, and notorious as an opponent of the officers and agents of the revolution (including the dastardly Citizen Chauvelin) who are determined, at all costs, to bring him to account on the \'national razor\'. They seek him here, there and everywhere but catching \'The Scarlet Pimpernel\' is quite another matter! In creating this fictional hero, Baroness Orczy (1865-1947) has given her readership a thrilling character in a unique series of historical, action-packed romps whose popularity is destined to endure. All the \'Scarlet Pimpernel\' adventures have been gathered together by Leonaur in a coordinated collection of good value volumes. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
