The Secret Pilgrim is a episodic novel by John le Carré, set within the frame narrative of an informal dinner talk given at the spy-training school in Sarratt by George Smiley. As Smiley talks, the first-person narrator, whom readers know only as "Ned," recalls his own experiences in a long career in the service. The Secret Pilgrim is le Carre's 11th entry into the spy/espionage genre. It is a collection of short stories chronologically following some of the career high/low(?) points of an associate of George Smiley's, Ned, who Smiley mentored since Ned was a young, unworldly recruit.
