John Blakeney

John Blakeney

John Blakeney was the author of The Life and Exploits of the Scarlet Pimpernel which was a supposed biography of the fictional Sir Percy Blakeney. It is thought that John Blakeney may be a pseudonym for John Montague Orczy-Barstow, the son of Baroness Orczy (author of The Scarlet Pimpernel).
