A Sheaf of Bluebells is a romantic and dramatic tale set in post-Revolutionary France, where loyalties and passions clash in a land still scarred by terror. The story follows Ronnay de Maurel, the son of a Royalist family who, despite his noble birth, has been raised with revolutionary ideals. When he falls in love with Fernande de Courson, a spirited Royalist aristocrat, their union seems impossible - torn apart by politics, prejudice, and betrayal. Yet, love proves as enduring as the delicate bluebells of the title, standing resilient against the storms of hatred and vengeance. Blending romance with historical intrigue, Baroness Orczy crafts a tale of passion, reconciliation, and the power of love to bridge the deepest divides.

Baroness Emmuska Orczy (1865-1947) was a Hungarian-born British novelist, playwright, and artist, best remembered as the creator of the legendary hero The Scarlet Pimpernel. Born in Tarnaörs, Hungary, she moved to London in her youth and established herself in literary circles with her flair for romantic adventure and historical drama. Orczy's groundbreaking novel The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905) introduced readers to Sir Percy Blakeney, the daring English aristocrat who, in disguise, rescued French nobles from the guillotine during the Revolution-an archetype that inspired countless masked and double-identity heroes in popular culture, from Zorro to Batman. Beyond the Pimpernel series, she penned detective stories such as The Old Man in the Corner, historical romances, and even works on Hungarian life and folklore. Her works combined suspense, wit, and a deep love for heroism, earning her international acclaim. Orczy continued writing until her final years, leaving behind a legacy as one of the pioneers of modern adventure and mystery fiction
