The Emperor's Candlesticks (1899) by. Baroness Orczy / A historical NOVEL / - Paperback

by Baroness Orczy (Author)

A historical novel by Baroness Orczy. Written soon after the birth of her son John, it is her first book as an author rather than translator and was a commercial failure. As in the Scarlet Pimpernel, the theme is international intrigue, but this time the setting is pre-World War One Europe and Russia rather than Revolutionary France
