Writing an average of twenty-three novels a year, she completed over 700 books, which have been translated into major languages, including Japanese, Chinese and Russian. Her literary career started in 1923 and she sold over 900 million copies of her books worldwide. 2 _____ Even in her late nineties, Barbara Cartland was full of the energy of a much younger woman. Although she could not see or hear very well, she listened carefully and talked with enthusiasm about English society and its values. She said, ‘What we have to do is bring back the wonderful manners English gentlemen used to have. All over the world, when I was a little girl, they all thought the English had beautiful manners and behaved extremely well.’ 3 _____ Barbara Cartland respected the ideals of charity and kindness. ‘It’s very important to think about new ideas for helping people,’ she said. ‘Nobody bothers today. People are not helping each other the way they used to. We must get away from that.’ She supported a number of British charities. 4 _____ Cartland was also famous for playing an active role in politics.
