anicky avatar reviewed on + 55 more book reviews


Baroness Orczy wrote a series of these books describing the adventures of an Englishman trying to resue the French from the horrors of thier French Revolution. Lord Blakeney and his band of Englishmen and lady Blakeney are likable characters and the historical backdrop to the books has been praised for it's accuracy to the details of the period. Throughly enjoyable adventure and a love story to boot. What more do you need?
