SECONDHAND BOOKS | BIOGRAPHY

In the early years of the last century, two brothers, Charles and Edward Greene, settled in Berkhamsted, a small country town thirty miles from London. There they were to found a remarkable dynasty - fathering twelve children between then - each of whom were to lead varied, well-documented and extraordinary lives. This book explores for the first time this generation of the Greene family in colorful detail - their relationships and shared history, and their lives - as explorers, writers, doctors, spies, politicians and much more.
