Two letters to Madol concering the latter's book on the Spanish dictator Godoy translated into English as GODOY: THE FIRST OF THE MODERN DICTATORS L. 1934.<br/><br/>In the first letter Maurois acknowledges receipt of the book by the historian and biographer Madol: " I have just read the beginning and the book seems fine to me. I promise to let you know . "<br/><br/>In the second letter Maurois responds to an invitation to write the Preface to GODOY: "I"d be delighted to see your book on Godoy appear in France but I don't feel capable of writing a preface on the subject. It's about a man I know little about except through you and about a period which I have never studied. My Preface would have little authority. I think every man should stay faithful to what he knows. But if you wish I could very well recommend your book to my publisher . "<br/><br/>André Maurois 1885-1967 novelist and biographer was son of an Alsatian draper who worked in the family business until he became a staff liaison officer with the British forces during World War I.

However you could take either the first chapter "Final Days and Death of Queen Victoria" which Appleton already has in translation and could give you - or the third chapter "Men and Parties" which contains several potraits of Englihs politicians . a few of them might be amusing ."<br/><br/><br/>Born as Emile Herzog Maurois changed his name assimilated and published his first novel in 1918.
