Betjeman's England (Hardcover, New)

For more than half a century, Betjeman's writings have awakened readers to the intimacy of English places--from the smell of gaslight in suburban churches, to the hissing of backwash on a shingle beach. Betjeman is England's greatest typologist: whether he's talking about a townhall or a teaship, he gets to the nub of what makes unexpected places--and unexpected people--tick. This new collection of his writings, arranged geographically, offers an essential gazetteer to the physical landmarks of Betjeman Country and the characters who inhabit it. A new addition to the popular series of Betjeman anthologies, following on from "Trains and Buttered Toast" and "Tennis Whites and Teacakes," this is a treasure trove for any Betjeman fan and for anyone with a love for the rare, curious, and unique details of English life.
