About This Item
London: John Murray, 1980. 1st . hardback. Near fine, 1st edition, unclipped d/j (v.g. though spine a little faded)), green boards and gilt titling bright; pages unmarked and unread.. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). This volume gathers together all of Betjeman's ""Church poems,"" as well as some new poems and others previously been out of print. John Betjeman enlarges any scene, not only into his own personal significances, but into those of us all, and never more so than in his Anglican explorations. In these poems we are shown, with his loving eye for detail and the human element and with his affectionate humour, how inside the confines of a church conjure up a whole parish.
