The novels of Baroness Orczy (1865-1947), included in this book, tell of France at the end of the 18th century. The country, engulfed in revolutionary fire, was overwhelmed by streams of blood, yesterday's rulers became enemies of the nation, the guillotine did not stop for a minute... It was in those years that the Red Flower League arose - an alliance of the British who devoted themselves to the fight against terror.
