The Elusive Pimpernel

From the publisher:  “Ever since the publication of the first Scarlet Pimpernel novel in 1905, the world has treasured the adventures of Sir Percy Blakeney as he leads his secret League of the Pimpernel and outwits his arch-enemy, Citizen Chauvelin, the sadistic spy master of the French Revolution who is determined to capture and expose the man known as Pimpernel. Here is a beautiful matching set of the most beloved of Baroness Orczy’s historical adventures.”

Each book measures 8.75” x 5.625” and is bound in full leather boards with raised bands on the spine, gold gilding and gilting, and a built in satin bookmark. Additionally, in order to capture the feel of these novels as was originally intended, each volume of The Scarlet Pimpernel Classics features a full-color frontispiece of rare vintage dust-jacket art.

The set is in MINT Condition and still in the publisher’s shrinkwrap.
