O knihe

Percy Blake, the forefather of the Scarlet Pimpernel, is hired to kidnap a young woman with sensitive information regarding the potential assassination of a prince. It's a complex family drama that ties into a mystery surrounding an artist's most acclaimed work.
Percy Blake is the adopted son of Dutch painter Frans Hals. He was originally born to an English nobleman who eventually abandoned he and his mother. Set in seventeenth-century Holland, Blake works on the streets under the alias, Diogenes. He's a mercenary who's hired to kidnap a young woman who discovers her brother is a part of plot to kill the Prince of Orange. To prevent her from spoiling their plans, Blake apprehends his target but slowly has a change of heart.
The Laughing Cavalier: The Story of the Ancestor of the Scarlet Pimpernel is a rich blend of fact and fiction. Baroness Orczy expands the legend of the famous hero in a new and exciting way.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Laughing Cavalier: The Story of the Ancestor of the Scarlet Pimpernel is both modern and readable.
