Scarlet Pimpernel

The Scarlet Pimpernel takes numerous and dangerous trips to help rescue unfortunate and innocent people from the dreaded guillotine, whilst hiding behind the facade of the ''brainless fop'', Sir Percy Blakeney. This collection of short stories about the exploits of the Pimpernel is wonderfully entertaining, and transports the reader back to the French Revolution where clever disguises and narrow escapes abound!
