John Betjeman (1906-1984) was not only one of the best-loved
Englishmen of the twentieth century, he was also the people's
favourite poet and champion of many causes linked to the
preservation of Britain's heritage. Whether those causes concerned
buildings, bridges or railway branch lines, Betjeman was a feared
adversary of bureaucratic excesses. This delightful little book is
a celebration of his love of railways and rail travel. Ten letters
selected by his daughter, Candida Lycett Green, each describe a
journey that he made or that he planned to make or that he planned
for a friend or relative. Jonathan Glancey has added his own words
to each letter; words that set the scene, bring the letters to
life, that describe Betjeman's moods - humorous, mischievous, brisk
for business - and above all, remind us of the age of the steam
locomotive in Britain and the many stations closed and track miles
lost during the sixties and seventies.
