Life and Exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel

A fascinating and amusing biography and family history of Sir Percy Blakeney. John Blakeney, perhaps a pseudonym for Baroness Orczy's son, wrote the book as a tongue-in-cheek affair, but it is carefully written to provide coherence and amazing detail. Definitely worth a read!
