Sir Edward Grey
None
Statesman of Europe
'The lamps are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our life-time.' The words of Sir Edward Grey, looking out from the windows of the Foreign Office at the end of August 1914, are amongst the most famous in European history, and encapsulate the impending end of the nineteenth-century world. The man who spoke them was Britain's longest-ever serving Foreign Secretary (in a single span of office) and one of the great figures of late Victorian and Edwardian Britain.

The Charm of Birds
The discovery and publication of The Cottage Book in 1999 brought the name of Sir Edward Grey ¿ Viscount Grey of Fallodon ¿ to the fore again after years of neglect. The longest-serving Foreign Secretary of the 20th century (and probably best remembered for his words at the outbreak of the First World War: `The lights are going out all over Europe.

First published in 1927, The Charm of Birds was an immediate popular success, but has been unavailable for many years. It deals mostly, but not exclusively, with birdsong, and is full of sensitive observation, beautifully written. Unlike most works of ornithology, it can be read for the pleasure of its prose alone. This handsome new edition contains all the woodcuts by Robert Gibbings that appeared in the original edition, with the addition of some of his other bird engravings. It is a volume to inspire all lovers of nature.
Grey of Fallodon

Two Edwards
The Two Edwards is unique in that it concentrates on the leading role played by King Edward VII and Foreign Secretary Edward Grey, which is mentioned peripherally—if at all—by others. King Edward is acknowledged as the author of the Triple Entente, but his motive for doing so is rarely mentioned.
