An extraordinary family secret.
William Cook spoke at The Oldie Literary Lunch about his debut novel, The Fifteenth Man — inspired by the remarkable story of his grandfather, Werner von Biel.
William grew up believing his grandfather was a wastrel. But after the fall of the Berlin Wall, he travelled to Berlin and discovered the truth: during the Second World War, Werner had saved a Jewish friend, Manfred Alexander, from the Holocaust — hiding him, feeding and clothing him before helping him escape to Switzerland.

❄️ Would a group of women and children escape the Arctic with no food?
Giles Milton spoke about his latest book, Empire at the Edge of the World (September 2026), his gripping account of explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson’s 1913 Arctic expedition to claim Wrangel Island for the British Empire.
He left us on a proverbial cliffhanger! What happened next?

Giles Milton, author of Empire at the Edge of the World, a narrative history book that tells the chilling story of Arctic exploration in 1913.
Madeline Smith, author of Bond Girl: From 60's Fashion Model to Half a Century on Stage & Screen, which gives a behind the scenes account of her famous role in Live and Let Die, as well as her acting beyond.
