- Used
- Hardcover
- first
1908. London: Hutchinson & Co., 1908. 32 pp ads dated Autumn 1908. Original blue cloth. First Edition of "these further exciting incidents in the life of the Scarlet Pimpernel during the French Revolution after the King's death" -- the sequel to Baroness Orczy's THE SCARLET PIMPERNEL (play 1903, novel 1905) and I WILL REPAY (1906). Although this was the third book published in this series featuring Sir Percy Blakeney, aka The Scarlet Pimpernel, during the Reign of Terror, it is the fifth in plot chronology. THE ELUSIVE PIMPERNEL has been adapted for the screen at least three times -- in 1919, in 1950 (as "The Fighting Pimpernel"), and in 1969. None of these is to be confused with Daffy Duck's memorable 1954 short, titled "The Scarlet Pumpernickel." In this copy's ads, this title is improperly listed (on p. 13) as THE ILLUSIVE PIMPERNEL -- most likely the earlier state (some copies have the same-dated ads but with ELUSIVE). It is in fine, bright condition, with the large armorial bookplate of Henry Sidney.
