The League of the Scarlet Pimpernel
Published in 1919, this book gathers eleven short adventures of Sir Percy Blakeney and the band of Englishmen who follow him into revolutionary France. Each story is a self-contained rescue: an aristocrat marked for the guillotine, a mother hunting for a stolen child, a trap laid by the ever-watchful Chauvelin. Freed from the pace of a full novel, Orczy leans into what readers loved most, the disguises, the coded signals, and the moment Percy reveals that the idle fop was the hero all along. Newcomers can start here, though the stories reward anyone who already knows the League. It makes a brisk companion to the original novel. Free PDF and EPUB edition available here.
