The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel Illustrated

Beautifully illustrated with appealing paintings by renowned illustrator, The League Of The Scarlet Pimpernel is set during the Reign of Terror following the start of the French Revolution. The title character, Sir Percy Blakeney, a wealthy English fop who transforms into a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist, represents the original "hero with a secret identity". They seek him here, They seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven?Is he in hell?That damned, elusive Pimpernel. Part romance, part adventure, and part suspenseful spy thriller, 'The League Of The Scarlet Pimpernel' is one of the first action-adventure stories, paving the way for swashbucklers like the Lone Ranger, Zorro, and Batman. Set in 1792, this is the story of Sir Percy Blakeney, armed with only his wits and cunning, who defies the French revolutionaries to rescue innocent men, women, and children from the guillotine. The ruthless Chauvelin is determined to uncover the identity of this masked Pimpernel and hunt him dow
