About the author
Born in Hungary in 1865, Baroness Emmuska Orczy later settled in England and became a British novelist and playwright. She is chiefly remembered for The Scarlet Pimpernel, first produced as a play and then published as a novel in the early 1900s, a story that became one of the era’s great popular successes.
Her most famous hero, Sir Percy Blakeney, appears to be a foolish aristocrat but is secretly a daring rescuer during the French Revolution. That double life gave readers one of fiction’s early and most influential secret-identity heroes, and Orczy returned to the character in a long-running series.
Orczy also wrote detective fiction, including stories featuring the mysterious investigator known as the Old Man in the Corner. Across her work, she had a gift for suspense, brisk storytelling, and dramatic twists, which helps explain why her books have remained in print and in readers’ imaginations for so long.
