Lord Grey of Fallodon is known to everyone as the statesman who, as Sir Edward Grey, was Britain's Foreign Secretary in the critical years that led up to the war. He retired from active political life in 1916, and devoted himself to his other great interest, the study of birds. Last year he published his memoirs, under the title of 'Twenty-five Years' - a book that aroused enormous interest, received the approbation of the most diverse sections of the English Press, and formed an important contribution to the literature of the war.
