Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The France I Know
This book tells among other things of seven visits to France in War-time: three in the winter, spring, and summer of 1915, two in 1916, one in the autumn of 1917, and one in the spring of 1918. It recalls some passages in past French history suggested by this intermittent observation of the present, and - rashly perhaps - it endeavours to forecast certain phases of French national (develop ment after the War.
It will be found that, in dealing with Anglo French relations, differences of temperament, opinion, and general attitude towards life are not ignored. They are referred to chie?y in order to show how marvellous has been the concord between two nations so diverse and so long separated in the past by rivalry and hostility. Their mutual for bearance and charity in circumstances which must have often strained those virtues almost to breaking point re?ect the highest credit on both allies. Well do they augur for the fulfilment after this War of the wish Shakespeare put into the mouth of a French Queen at the close of an earlier con?ict.
