The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel — Baroness Emmuska Orczy

The Triumph of the Scarlet Pimpernel, first published in 1922, is the last book about the Scarlet Pimpernel's adventures, in the popular series by Baroness Orczy. Again Orczy skillfully interweaves historic fact with fiction, this time through the real life figures of Thérésa Cabarrus, and Jean-Lambert Tallien; inserting the Scarlet Pimpernel as an instigator of the role Tallien played in the Thermidorian Reaction in July 1794.
