The Scarlet Pimpernel / Baroness Orczy
"The first and most successful of the Baroness Orczy's series of books featuring Sir Percy Blakeney, who leads a double life as both an English fop and a swashbuckling rescuer of French aristocrats, The Scarlet Pimpernel was the precursor to what became known as the masked-avenger genre. In 1792, during the French Revolution, twenty English artistocrats--"one to command, and nineteen to obey"--form a secret society to save their French counterparts from the guillotine. No one knows who they are, but the leader signs his notes with a small red flower, a scarlet pimpernel."-- Back cover.
