Dear Lord Rothschild: Birds, Butterflies, and History

Miriam Rothschild 

Dear Lord Rothschild is a 1983 biography by Dame Miriam Rothschild (19082005) about her uncle, Walter Rothschild (18681937), the 2nd Baron Rothschild. The book portrays Walter as a brilliant, eccentric naturalist and the builder of the world's largest private zoological collection at his Tring Museum, now part of the National History Museum, and also highlights the diverse scientific interests and contributions of the wider Rothschild family. A significant detail is the Balfour Declaration, a 1917 letter beginning "Dear Lord Rothschild," which offered British government support for a Jewish national home in Palestine, demonstrating the family's impact on history beyond finance.
