"El Dorado" by Baronness Emma Orczy depicts the intrepid swordsman and escape artist in the role of savior of the French royal family.

Published in 1913, "El Dorado" was the fourth in the Pimpernel series of eleven books, numerous short stories and other related writings about her famous British adventurer.
