(born Sept. 23, 1865, Tarnaörs, Hung.—died Nov. 12, 1947, London, Eng.) Hungarian-born British novelist. The daughter of a noted musician, she was educated in Brussels and Paris and studied art in London. She became famous as the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel (1905), a swashbuckling adventure set in the era of the French Revolution. Her sequels did not match its great popular success. She also wrote detective stories.
