About This Item
United Kingdom: John Murray, 2006. No D/J (soft cover) The book is in good used condition. John Betjeman was the best-loved English poet since Tennyson and became an institution - a 'teddy bear of the nation'. This biography takes the reader from Bentjeman's troubled childhood in North London, through his blossoming at Oxford; a gay fling with W H Auden; a clandestine marriage to a field marshal's daughter; pranks as a film critic; wartime service and probable espionage in Ireland, to the glory days of his later years when his collected poems became a runaway bestseller. This book is a distillation of Bevis Hillier's three-volume biography, authorized by Betjeman himself. You will receive the book seen in the image.. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Thus. Soft cover. Good/No D/J.
