Between You And Me

’Between You and Me’ is a novel written by Sir Harry Lauder. It begins with the narrator and protagonist of the story describing the world as a beautiful place worth saving, but acknowledging that it is not perfect and needs improvement. He criticizes those who preach against everything and those who think everything is fine, while emphasizing the importance of plain working people who fought in wars and have come home to continue fighting for humanity. Then, he calls for unity among plain folk and against profiteers and agitators who are set against them, and expresses confidence in the ability of plain people to work together and make the world a better place.   Sir Henry Lauder (1870 - 1950) was a notable Scottish entertainer, described by Sir Winston Churchill as 'Scotland’s greatest ever ambassador. Lauder first appeared in his music-hall career as an Irish comedian. He toured the world extensively during his forty-year career, including 22 trips to the United States. During World War I he was active in fund raising and touring music halls helping with recruitment. Lauder wrote many popular songs, performed in three movies and wrote a number of books. His books include a number of books which ran into several editions, including Harry Lauder at Home and on Tour (1912), A Minstrel in France (1918), Between You and Me (1919), and Roamin’ in the Gloamin’ (1928).
