Synopsis

Title: A Collection of Six Vintage Books from the Scarlet Pimpernel Series
Author/Publisher: Baroness Orczy
Publication Year: Circa 1908 onwards
Format: Six Cloth-Bound Volumes

Baroness Emmuska Orczy's enduring tales of the Scarlet Pimpernel have captivated generations, establishing her as a master of historical adventure. This collection offers a compelling journey into the heart of the French Revolution, where the daring Sir Percy Blakeney, seemingly a foppish English aristocrat, secretly orchestrates audacious rescues of French nobles from the guillotine.

This custom bundle presents six vintage cloth-bound volumes from the beloved Scarlet Pimpernel series. Though specific publication details for each title may vary, the collection includes early printings from 1908 onwards, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the original spirit of Orczy's thrilling narratives.

• The Iconic Dual Identity: Delve into the brilliant creation of Sir Percy Blakeney, whose public persona as a frivolous dandy cleverly conceals his true identity as the elusive and courageous Scarlet Pimpernel, a symbol of hope against revolutionary tyranny.
• Historical Adventure at its Finest: Experience the vivid backdrop of late 18th-century France, where political intrigue, daring escapes, and romantic tension unfold across Orczy's richly imagined historical landscape.

A fine opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts of classic historical fiction to acquire a substantial collection of Baroness Orczy's most celebrated works, offering a tangible connection to an iconic figure in literary history.
