John Betjeman, appointed Poet Laureate in 1972, is celebrated as
the best loved poet of the twentieth century. His subtle blend of
wit and melancholia, affection and criticism continues to attract
an ever-expanding readership. From beneath his sparkling wit and
deceptively simple nostalgia, Betjeman emerges as the authority on
a broad range of subjects from conservation and church architecture
to tradition and Englishness. In this selection of his greatest
poetry and prose, cherished classics such as Slough, Pot Pourri
from a Surrey Garden and A Subaltern's Love-song sit beside rare
gems like Metro-land, Betjeman's critically acclaimed film script.
