ⓘ About Baroness Orczy
Baroness Orczy was the pen name of a Hungarian British born author, playwright and an artist of noble origin, Baroness Emma Magdolna. She is famously known for her novel series featuring Scarlet Pimpernel. On 5th January 1905 during an opening in London’s West End, The Scarlet Pimpernel became a favorite of British audiences, and some of her paintings were at the Royal Academy in London. During the First World War, Orczy founded the Women of England’s Active Service League, an organization that was focused on enlisting of female volunteers for active service. In 1903, with the collaboration of her husband, Orczy wrote a play based on one of her stories about an English aristocrat who rescued a French aristocrat from the French Revolution: The Scarlet Pimpernel. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Sir Percy Blakeney (Scarlet Pimpernel) Books series, Baroness Orczy has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres.
