About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
"The First Sir Percy" isn't actually the story of the iconic Scarlet Pimpernel, but his ancestor, Sir Percy Blakeney. The novel follows Sir Percy, initially known as "Diogenes," a daring mercenary in Holland during the 17th century. He uncovers a plot against the Stadtholder and foils it, later discovering his true identity as an English nobleman and heir. The story then focuses on his upcoming marriage to Gilda Beresteyn, a woman he once captured, and the challenges he faces from a vengeful enemy, all while adjusting to his newfound aristocratic life.
Baroness Orczy
Baroness Emma Orczy was born in Hungary in 1865, the daughter of the composer Baron Félix Orczy de Orci. The Orczy family, fearing a peasant revolution, left their country estate for Budapest in 1868 and settled in London in 1880. There Emma attended art school and met her future husband, a clergyman’s son, Montague MacLean Barstow. Following the birth of their only child, she began writing historical novels and plays to supplement his low income. The Scarlet Pimpernel was her first play (and third novel) and proved an enormous success in both mediums. Orczy went on to pen over a dozen sequels, as well as many other novels. She died in Oxfordshire in 1947.
