Scaramouche » (Reprint)

Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950), of Italian and English parentage, was a prolific and best-selling author. He wrote in English, his adopted language.

A masterpiece of historical fiction—and a ferociously gripping adventure tale.

Publishers Weekly

Delightfully courtly, flowery but not dated, Sabatini's period romances--Scaramouche unfolds over the years leading up to the French Revolution--were deservedly popular when originally published, during the 20s and 30s. (July)
