Product Description

Product Description

In this, the sequel to The Scarlet Pimpernel, French agent and chief spy-catcher Chauvelin is as crafty as ever, but Sir Percy Blakeney is more than a match for his arch-enemy. Meanwhile the beautiful Marguerite remains wholly devoted to Sir Percy, her husband. Cue more swashbuckling adventures as Sir Percy attempts to smuggle French aristocrats out of the country to safety.

About the Author

Baroness Orczy was born in Hungary in 1865, the daughter of Baron Felix Orczy, a landed aristocrat and well-known composer and conductor. Shemoved with her parents from Budapest to Brussels and then Paris, where she was educated. Orczy alsostudied art in London and exhibited work atthe Royal Academy. Later sheMontagu Barstow and together they worked as illustrators and jointly published an edition of Hungarian folk tales. Fame came in1905 with the publication of The Scarlet Pimpernel, which was originally a play co-written with her husband. Its background of Revolution in France and swashbuckling hero, 'Sir Percy Blakeney', was to prove immensely popular. Sequels followed and many years later film and TV versions are enduringly popular, with new productions from time to time. However, Orczy alsoalso wrote detective stories which have a following today amongst those intersted in the genre. She died in 1947.

I've read the first four SP books, and this is my favorite. It doesn't have as confusing a plot as some of the others do (Namely Eldorado...) Plus I think that Percy and Chauvelin are perfectly matched up enimies, and they show it off better than anywhere else in Bouloge. This is the most swashbuckling version of the one's I've read, where Chauvelin tries to win by brains and Percy beats him out with brawn. Beautiful!

This is the sequal to "The Scarlet Pimpernel." It is a truely wonderful book that any action lover would like. Chauvelin is as crafty as ever and Marguerite is as beautiful and devoted to Sir Percy Blackeney, her oh so fashionable dandy and wealthy husband. If you have seen A&E's version this is the book you will find closest to it. Good reading!
