The Elusive Pimpernel
by Emma Orczy
These are the first days of the French Republic, and Robespierre's revolutionaries discover that their evil plans have been repeatedly foiled. It seems that Percy Blakeni - a cunning and heroic pimple - is more than a match for all of them. But Chauvelin, Sir Percy's sworn enemy who captures spies, devised a plan. In this fermented sequel to Red Pimple, Percy tries to smuggle the French aristocrats out of the country to safety, while Chauvelin plays out a despicable conspiracy to eliminate Pimple and his beautiful wife once and for all. The adventures of the rebellious Baroness Orchi Pimple, who lit up film and television screens and jumped from the pages of books, ignited the imagination of the world for generations. Fans of the classic original and those who are fond of rich historical novels will be pleased with this story of intrigue, which took place in the days following the French Revolution.
