primsongI made yet another attempt at landing *any* of the other Pimpernel books at yet another bookstore, it is becoming a Quest unto itself to try to track him down. As usual, I get completely blank stares followed by "Really?" when I tell the salespeople/owners there are other titles in this series (yes, a series!) - in fact there are over a dozen. Stratus House publishes them. Where are they? I find it stunning that out of all of these well-read, bookish people I have yet to find even *one* who knew of anything but the "title" book's existance. Zounds!
Percy was right - he really is elusive. It looks as if I shall have to send across The Pond for him after all.
On the happy side, I now have my very own copy of the rather fun 1934 black-n-white movie version.
