The Grenfell twins, Francis and Riversdale can perhaps be taken as one of the finest windows into the so called golden age from 1880 to the summer of 1914, before the great war ripped Europe apart. Born into the minor aristocracy and educated at Eton, the boys were gifted scholars and renowned athletes, they both went on to serve in armed forces and lose their lives like so many others in the great war. John Buchan has compiled biographies of the twins, written from personal letters and from a rare perspective of a man who was called 'The Uncle' by both Francis and Riversdale. Including a biography of the author.
