Little Book of Betjeman is a perceptive evocation of the late Poet Laureate’s life and work affectionately written by Peter Gammond, a passionate devotee of his poetry and prose.
The book is lavishly illustrated throughout, in both colour and black and white, with some hitherto unpublished pictures of the poet and many very rare first editions from the author’s personal collection.
Peter Gammond knew John Betjeman and the members of his circle of friends at Oxford, such as Maurice Bowra, and, as Vice-President and a former chairman of The Betjeman Society, he is uniquely qualified to write about Britain’s best-loved poet of the 20th century.
Foreword by Lady Wilson of Rievaulx, wife of former Prime Minister Harold Wilson.
