| Summary | "Pickle the Spy; Or, the Incognito of Prince Charles" by Andrew Lang is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the intricate and often treacherous world of Jacobitism in the 18th century, focusing on the enigmatic character known as Pickle the Spy. A significant figure in this narrative is Prince Charles Edward Stuart, whose journey and clandestine activities during his years in hiding form the crux of the story. The opening of the account introduces readers to the context surrounding the final rally of Jacobitism, shedding light on the historical backdrop and the importance of newly unearthed documents and correspondence. Lang begins by outlining Japan's secretive diplomacy during the years that ensued after the Jacobite defeat at Culloden. He highlights Pickle, a Highland chief and spy, whose duplicity permitted him to navigate between Loyalties to both the English Crown and the Jacobite cause. Through the lens of Pickle's life, the narrative promises to reveal detailed intrigues, betrayals, and the enduring tensions within the Jacobite camp, emphasizing the complex relationship between Prince Charles and the forces working against him during a time of great political upheaval.
