Synopsis

This is volume number 1 of the Scarlet Pimpernel saga. It includes the following novels: Vol. 1 1. The Scarlet Pimpernel, September–October 1792 2. The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, July 1793 3. I Will Repay, August–September 1793 This sixteen novel saga is set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. Scarlet Pimpernel, the name of a little flower, is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop, but in reality a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist. The 16 novels, when written and published originally, did not necessarily followed the chronological order. In this edition we have aimed to publish them following chronological order, and thus are numbered the way they are.
