Reading The Elusive Pimpernel | Alexandria
Read The Elusive Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy. Hunting aristocrats through the blood-soaked streets of revolutionary France, the Scarlet Pimpernel plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse while hiding behind a facade of frivolous dandyism. This masterful spy thriller reveals how the most effective heroes often cultivate a reputation for foolishness - a strategy that remains remarkably relevant in our era of carefully curated public personas.
