About the author
Born in Hungary in 1865, Emmuska Orczy moved to Britain as a child and later built a writing career there. She is remembered above all for The Scarlet Pimpernel, the swashbuckling tale of a secret English hero rescuing people from Revolutionary France, which became her most famous and lasting success.
Orczy wrote much more than one classic novel. She also produced detective and adventure fiction, including the Old Man in the Corner stories, and her work helped popularize the idea of the mysterious master of disguise or hidden avenger. Her stories were widely read for their pace, suspense, and theatrical flair.
She died in 1947, but her influence has lasted well beyond her lifetime. Readers still return to her books for their energy, memorable plots, and the larger-than-life heroes and villains that made her a standout popular novelist.
