Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition, in the publisher's original cloth binding.

Sir John Betjeman was a poet, writer and broadcaster, and served as Poet Laureate from 1972 until his death.

Betjeman's poems are often humorous, and in broadcasting he exploited his bumbling and fogeyish image. The poems of this work are divided into three groups - Medium, Light and Gloom.
