The Elusive Pimpernel (Black & Gold Classics)

di Orczy, Baroness

The seventh book time-wise in the Scarlet Pimpernel series, this was actually the 3rd one written (first published in 1908). The story, like most of the Scarlet Pimpernel series, is set in Europe during the French Revolution. In The Elusive Pimpernel, Citizen Chauvelin is given one more chance by the Revolutionary Government to catch the Scarlet Pimpernel. He asks for (and is granted) nearly unlimited authority, finances and resources for one last attempt at capturing the English rogue. And his plot is ingenious. This time, he’s not trying to send the Scarlet Pimpernel to the guillotine, he’s trying to dishonor him, thus eliminating not only Sir Percy, but the entire league. And he has captured Lady Blakeney to ensure success. It looks like Sir Percy’s luck has run out, and that Chauvelin might have finally set the inescapable trap. How is Sir Percy possibly going to escape this time? Black & Gold House of Books strives to provide the best quality literature at a fair price.
