John Betjeman

Description:

Following "Young Betjeman", in which the poet secretly married and found his eccentric genius, this volume deals with his zenith years. Now he wins fame not just for his poems but as a tastemaker opening eyes to the Victorian ages, as a battling conservationist and as a television personality.
