It's not often that an acclaimed historian is revealed to be the author of light

verse, but John R. Alden here presents us with 1,707 couplets, quatrains, and other terse

verse in the tradition of Ogden Nash. His subject matter ranges from dinosaurs to computers,

from Confucius to Darwin, from Jonah to George Bush. His wit, wisdom, and powers of

observation are sure to amuse and delight. A sample: "How did Arkman Noah/Provide for

protozoa?"



John R. Alden died in 1991. Blackstone Audiobooks has also recorded his George Washington: A Biography and Rise of the American Republic.

In this sequel to The Scarlet Pimpernel, Sir Percy Blakeney's arch-enemy travels to England in pursuit
of the impudent enemy of the French Republic. Monsieur Chauvelin devises a dastardly plot to annihilate, once
and for all, both Sir Percy and his beautiful wife Marguerite. Lured to France, where the entire town of Boulogne
is held hostage on their behalf, they seem to be hopelessly trapped. Will the Scarlet Pimpernel prevail?
