Description:A Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright and artist of noble origin. She is most known for her series of novels featuring the Scarlet Pimpernel.Orczy went on to write over a dozen sequels featuring Sir Percy Blakeney, his family, and the other members of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel, of which the first, I Will Repay (1906), was the most popular. Other popular detective stories featured The Old Man In the Corner, a sleuth who chiefly used logic to solve crimes.Orczy's novels were racy, mannered melodramas and she favored historical fiction. Critic Mary Cadogan states "Orczy's books are highly wrought and intensely atmospheric". In The Nest of the Sparrowhawk (1909), for example, a malicious guardian in Puritan Kent tricks his beautiful, wealthy, young ward into marrying him by disguising himself as an exiled French prince. He persuades his widowed sister-in-law to abet him in this plot, in which she unwittingly disgraces one of her long lost sons and finds the other murdered by the villain. Even though this novel had no link to The Scarlet Pimpernel other than its shared authorship, the publisher advertised it as part of "The Scarlet Pimpernel Series".ContentsScarlet Pimpernel SeriesThe Laughing Cavalier The First Sir Percy The Scarlet Pimpernel The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel I Will Repay The Elusive Pimpernel Lord Tony's Wife El Dorado The Old Man in the CornerPetticoat Rule"Unto Caesar"A Bride of the PlainsCastles in the AirBeau Brocade, A RomanceLeatherfaceThe Tangled Skein The Nest of the SparrowhawkThe Heart of a WomanThe Bronze EagleHis Majesty's Well-BelovedScarlet Pimpernel Series- A secret society of English aristocrats is engaged in rescuing their French counterparts from the guillotine of the French Revolution.
