Enter a world of secret identities, desperate escapes, ingenious crimes, gallant adventurers, and mysteries concealed beneath the most respectable of appearances.
The Baroness Orczy Library brings the works of Baroness Emma Orczy to life in full, from the daring exploits of The Scarlet Pimpernel to her tales of detection, intrigue, loyalty, danger, and romance.
Here are drawing rooms where no one is quite what they seem, revolutions where a single moment may decide a life, and puzzles in which the smallest clue may betray the greatest secret.
So draw nearer and listen. Adventure, after all, may be waiting just beyond the door.
