Second Rubaiyat Miscellany-Louisa Stuart Costello, Edward Byles Cowell, Nathan Haskell Dole, Henry George Keene, Rex Löwenberg

Sequel to The Laughing Cavalier, The First Sir Percy picks up the cavalier’s story three months later. The second novel in Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling series, this one set in the Netherlands, contains all the same adventurous elements as the novels that follow. Percy Blake, who calls himself Diogenes, is the Scarlet Pimpernel’s worthy ancestor. - Summary by Winnifred Assmann
