Set during the chaos of the French Revolution, The Scarlet Pimpernel follows a mysterious English hero who risks his life to rescue French aristocrats from the guillotine.

Beneath the intrigue lies a compelling love story and a clever exploration of identity, loyalty, and sacrifice.
Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling classic remains a thrilling blend of romance and adventure, and one of the earliest masked-hero tales in literature.
