作者简介
Baroness Emma Orczy, born on September 23, 1865 in Tarnaörs, Hungary, was a distinguished novelist and playwright. Raised in a noble family, Orczy moved to Britain with her parents in 1880, where she attended the West London School of Art and later the Royal Academy of Art. Coming from a lineage of talent and influence, Orczy infused her aristocratic roots and cosmopolitan education into her literary work. Now most famously remembered for her creation 'The Scarlet Pimpernel' series, Orczy brought into existence one of the earliest masked vigilantes, which would influence countless heroic figures in popular culture. Her notable contribution to literature through this series has overshadowed her other works, but among them persists 'Lady Molly of Scotland Yard' (1910), a progressive novel featuring a female detective which underscored Orczy's penchant for creating strong, distinctive women characters. Her literary style is marked by a fusion of suspense, romance, and a vivid portrayal of the early 20th-century British gentry. Orczy's writing was not only a reflection of her noble background but also a platform where she crafted intrigue and adventure, effectively capturing the imagination of her readers. She passed away on November 12, 1947, leaving behind a legacy of a pioneering female author who carved her unique niche within the mystery and adventure genre.
