Summary: Historian, biographer and novelist Miranda Seymour told us why three-hundred years of Anglo-German friendship is not something to be forgotten... In her new book Noble Endeavours, Miranda Seymour outlines a history of mutual respect, admiration, collaboration and inspiration between the nations of Britain and Germany which lasted three centuries until the World Wars, and "twelve years of monstrous meditated evil" clouded our memories. Her book is here to offer an insight into this fascinating forgotten period, and also "a handshake to history", in the hope of rekindling past friendships... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAENX8AdbB4&feature=youtu.be You can Reserve & Collect Noble Endeavours: The Life of Two Countries, England and Germany, in Many Stories from your local Waterstones bookshop (http://bit.ly/GzGyEg), buy it online at Waterstones.com (http://bit.ly/16TePo5) or download it in ePub format (http://bit.ly/16Eh7hB) For more information about the Cheltenham Literature Festival, and to buy tickets, click here (http://bit.ly/GD2KgS)
