Title: The Scarlet Pimpernel Author: Baroness Orczy Narrator: The Cliff, Cyril Taylor-Carr Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 44 minutes Release date: August 31, 2022 Genres: LGBTQ+ Publisher's Summary: “We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere' “It was long past midnight when at last Marguerite retired to rest' “Money and titles may be hereditary,” she would say, “but brains are not.” The story is set during the Reign of Terror following the French Revolution. The title is the nom de guerre of its hero and protagonist, a chivalrous Englishman who rescues aristocrats before they are sent to the guillotine. Sir Percy Blakeney leads a double life: apparently nothing more than a wealthy fop but in reality a formidable swordsman and a quick-thinking escape artist. The band of gentlemen who assist him are the only ones who know his secret identity. He is known by his symbol, a simple flower, the scarlet pimpernel. Opening at the New Theatre in London's West End on January 5, 1905, the play became a favorite of British audiences, eventually playing more than 2,000 performances. Baroness Emma Orczy, usually known as Baroness Orczy or to her family and friends as Emmuska Orczy, was a Hungarian-born British novelist and playwright. A true audiobook treasure!
