About the book

Baroness Orczy's classic adventure novel El Dorado is the sequel to The Scarlet Pimpernel and was first published in 1913. Set in 1794's Paris - which "despite the horrors that had stained her walls - has remained a city of pleasure, and the knife of the guillotine did scarce descend more often than did the drop-scenes on the stage."
