Emma Orczy, the daughter of the composer, Baron Felix Orczy, was born in Hungary in 1865. Educated in Brussels and Paris, Orczy moved to London in 1880 to study art. She specialised in genre subjects and exhibited several works at the Royal Academy. She is, however, perhaps better known for her first novel, The Scarlet Pimpernel, published in 1905. She went on to publish several more Pimpernel novels, and further detective fiction, none of which however, was as successful as her first endeavour.
