In the second of seven readings related to the preceding Bookshelf programme, Sir John Gielgud reads from the reminiscences Disraeli wrote down in the first half of the 1860s. Not yet Prime Minister for the first time, he could look back upon 40 years of striving for literary and political success and social acceptance.
But Disraeli was a politician and a novelist, not a historian, and wrote the stories in order to put the past into the perspective from which he wanted it viewed.

In 1918 a book was published comprising a series of love letters written - but never sent - by a British officer during the First World War to an American Red Cross nurse. Written in the appalling conditions of the trenches, the letters were eventually found in an abandoned dug-out. There was no indication of the writer's name, nor of the identity of the girl to whom they were addressed. As the last letter was unfinished, it was assumed the writer was dead. The publisher, in a preface, stated that he was holding the original letters and if the girl should read the book and recognise herself, she could claim them.
No one has come forward. and for over 50 years the identity of the writer and of the girl has remained a mystery.
Lees Borland edited the letters and investigated the mystery.
