From Baroness Emma Orczy creator of classic adventure icon the Scarlet Pimpernel comes a swashbuckling re-telling of the medieval French ballad of Aucassin and Nicolette. An epic tale of love lost and found tragedy and comedy all rooted in the heart of chivalry's golden age. “The present is not so glorious but that I should wish to dwell a little in the past.” - Baroness Orczy
