The The Scarlet Pimpernel - Unabridged eBook

"The Scarlet Pimpernel," Baroness Orczy's thrilling adventure novel set during the post-revolution Reign of Terror in France, began life as a play, which ran on the West End for over 2,000 performances. The success of the stage version prompted the Baroness to publish the story as a novel and it became an immediate international best-seller.  

The story surrounds a great mystery that has all of London buzzing: What is the identity of the masked adventurer known as the "Scarlet Pimpernel" who travels back and forth from London to Paris, rescuing members of the French aristocracy before they can fall victim to "Madame Guillotine"? It couldn't possibly be the seemingly foppish and retiring Sir Percy Blakeney...or could it?  

One of the most popular adventure novels of all time, "The Scarlet Pimpernel" is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
